My 19 year old daughter was vaccinated today! Tears of joy!

Johnson and Johnson.

So happy.

She is in another state at school, living in an apartment with 4 other girls, 2 of which had COVID.

They are ALL now vaccinated! And so are many of their friends.

So happy! What a relief.

She went to a mass vaccination site run by the National Guard.

Thank you President Biden!

...delightful 26 yr old girlfriend of 3 years gets her first either tomorrow or Saturday. I share your joy.

My husband and I had already gotten ours (me a health care worker, and both of us over 65), and our older son, 31, volunteered at a mass vaccination event in Phoenix, registering people for their second doses. I really didn't like our younger son being the only one of us who was not immunized.

My 38 year old son is still waiting for his vaccine. It's honestly not a big deal in that he really stays isolated. He's in a PhD program in astronomy on the East Coast. Ever since his school shut down a year ago he's simply been able to stay home, do his research at home, buy groceries as needed. Heck, he probably sees far fewer people than I do.

I know he's a bit anxious, understandably, to get the vaccine. But it will happen.

Meanwhile, virtual hugs to your daughter!

and it's not much longer before everyone who wants a vaccination gets one.

I think he's feeling a bit frustrated, as I was a couple of weeks ago myself. But soon enough he'll get the vaccine. And, as I said, he's able to stay isolated, lucky him. That is simply not the same for everyone.
