By the time the FDA approves the booster shots here, they'll be on back order. Don't know why they move so damn slow.

And we are being told we don't need boosters right now.
I don't know why it's taking so long here to figure out that we actually need boosters.

He was in the original trial and got his first shot back in August of last year. He had a sore arm and fever and later found out that he was in the vaccine group.

This time his arm hurt a bit more than with his second shot and he ran a 100 degree fever. He was tired and his heart rate was elevated when he was on his peleton.
