Hi Merry - I'm curious about this " There is worry that you might get an infection from the vaccine." This is not a live-virus vaccine, meaning you can't get Covid, so what are you hearing?
My daughter and my friend both got an "immune response" - aches, fever, etc - from theirs. That is actually a good sign - it means the body is forming an immune response just like it is supposed to.

Sue- Hi! I deleted the sentence about being infected from the shot. Thanks to bringing it to my attention. I misread the information.
