So, I took a ride over to the VA facility in Brockton and got the first dose. I'll go back on March 13th for the second. The longest wait was the 15 minutes they require you to stay after getting the shot in case of any severe reactions. I had none and still have none. Anyhoo, try to keep the peace.

I thought about talking to the VA for my shot but I understand you have to already be in the medical system. I am not really much of a football fan but I have to say Brady and Gronk looked pretty good and the Tampa defense did a pretty good job of shutting down KC. Mahones played a pretty good game. Too bad the rest of the team didn't show up. The grounds keepers and cops did a better job of stopping the streaker at the goal line than the KC defense did all day. Regarding the covid vaccine shot .... the availability may be unique to the Boston area VA Healthcare system based on supply or something. Don't know if it is nation-wide. The notice up here was that if you are "in" the system, you call a number to make an appointment. (although it turns out that wasn't necessary as they were also taking "walk-ins" when I showed up.) But they also said that if you were a Vet but *not* in the system you can call a different number to register and could then receive the vaccine shots. I may look into that. The problem is I really need to get my FIL done. He is 92. I would feel bad going before him. I am surprised Florida has not been able to vaccinate all seniors yet.

It has two holes for his ears, one big hole to fit over his head, and an overlapped cutout for him to sip on a straw through. There are no openings to see through because there isn't much in Halifax worth looking at. The only problem is Donnie forgets which function should be used first. The mask or..............

Based on what we hear in the news Florida is doing a great job with the distribution and logistics of vaccinating. They have the same problem the whole country has, not enough vaccine. The slots fill up in minutes when they open the registrations.. We also have a million snowbirds lining up because they didn't get their shot at home. The state with “Federal” help (maybe) is setting up super vaccinator sites. Our local fairgrounds has been set up for weeks, the news is bragging about the setups. Why after weeks of being setup, there ain’t been a single vaccination? I got the first shot, via my doctors health group. Wife got hers via another healthcare group she is registered with. Seems as if the state and Fed’s are ****ing in the wind. |
