Friend Nancy was bemoaning the fact that the clinic by her still didn't have the Flu/Covid shot available. My clinic is in the same network but much smaller. She asked if I'd been able to get mine yet. I hadn't even tried. Had been following the drama at the Center for Disease Control (CDC) since Secretary Kennedy took over. Wasn't sure if CDC recommendations would affect insurance paying for the shots. Ever since first grade I've been up for getting any shots available. I'd go over the list of shots the school sent home w/ students every Fall like it was a Sears catalog to see if there was anything I was eligible to get. Yesterday I finally decided I shouldn't wait any longer and called my clinic. Yes, they had the vaccines and yes, I could get an appointment for the next day. Actually it's still two shots - one in each arm. My appointment was for 8 a.m. and I was back home around 8:30. I remembered that the only negative effect these shots have on me is cold chills around the time I go to bed. After the constitutional tonight, I took a shower and plan on hitting the hay early. The electric blanket and thick winter quilt are already on the bed. I should be fine.
