@tigreyes2004 |- Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Good for you! Although I am excited about having my second one this Sunday I also have a certain fear. So I know what you mean. It's new and it's scary, especially for those with underlying illnesses. In the US we have only been injecting people for about 8 months, not a very long time at all. But the risk of contracting COVID-19 is far more severe than the risk of having the vaccine and a reaction to it.

I think that every one of us who has the vaccination is a pioneer! We are brave and willing to help stop this deadly virus. Our sore arms and aches are our badges of honor! Good for you! I hope that you feel proud!
