To vaccinate or not to vaccinate? That is the question.

Well I received my first shot yesterday. I weighed the pros and cons and the pros made more sense for me. Like I was previously advised by a lung cancer survivor....if I do not get the vaccine and get Covid I probably would not survive with two lobes missing. If I do get it the vaccine I will have a fighting chance. And it is better for everyone else as well.

Congratulations johnymac. I have two lobes missing too plus 2 SBRT and knew that I probably wouldn't survive COVID either. Plus this will reassure my family and my community that I don't want to spread it! I hope that your side effects if any are minimal.

My daughter, a nurse who regularly works on telemed with Covid patients, is applauding too!

Her office is in my home, and many days she is nearly in tears after having to call 911 for a person severely ill with Covid. She will come upstairs saying "I have such a bad feeling about this person. Tell everyone to get vaccinated!!!"

Please remember, especially with restrictions ending and people gathering, that if you don't get vaccinated, you NEED to stay masked, keep your distance and be extremely careful. Especially, you need to stay away from unvaccinated kids, they are great carriers, and not eligible for the vaccine.
