@dsh33782, Big Congrats, Don, on being among the first to get the Pfizer vacc!

My doc suggested putting me on the list and I was stunned and jubilant to have received the Moderna on Friday. Many annual flu shots gave me a much sorer arm..this one was a breeze. We also share the exact same desire and possibility of actually perhaps visiting our children in Colorado later in the year.

My hope, too, is that as more become eligible for the vaccine and more vaccine is distributed and administered, more will take advantage of it. Almost a miracle that vaccines were developed in less than a year! As a member, @kamama94, often writes: "This is a good day to be alive!"

@fiesty76 I guess we share the same desire. We haven't seen our son in Denver since the first weekend of February, last year. This will be the first Superbowl weekend in a very long time that we, or at least my husband, has not traveled to watch it with him. Hopefully we will get to visit him, either here or there, sometime in the relatively close future.

I hope too that more and more people who are reluctant to have the vaccine will change their minds when they see that it has not negatively affected those who have gotten it. If not enough people get it we will never have "community immunity".

@sueinmn I had a gastroenterologist who was that way - preferred his patients to be unconscious. After an endoscopy showing that I had Barrett's Esophagus I tried to speak to him. He would not speak to me, his office told me to speak to my PCP! That was the last contact I had with his office. I then switched to a fabulous gastroenterologist at Mass General.
