I don’t have a problem with — or getting — vaccines. Grew up getting vaccinated.
True, that I did NOT bother getting the Flu vaccination until I was in my 60s. But, I got tired of getting nagged to get it. So, I have been getting the ‘old man’ flu vaccination, annually, around this time, for the last 6 or 7 years.
I also want to be as protected against COVID as I can. I am not going to take any chances. This was my 4th BOOSTER — but, I never got a proper shot to begin with because of my color. They were giving us non-whites saline solution to save on the vaccine — but telling us that we were all good. I am used to that.
First time getting the RSV. That one HURT. Stung. But that is OK. I am prone to chest infections. So, I will take any ‘cover’ I can.
