Yesterday evening my friend and I sat together outside, at a proper distance, and decided to get the third vaccine. I spent the evening figuring out how and where to make the appointment for a serology test and then an appointment for a vaccine – and so did she. Then today she called back to say that she had visited her dentist and he called to inform her he was in isolation. She is waiting for the results of her corona test and will let me know. For the second time in the past 17 months, I felt the danger. It’s probably fine, but — rats!

I’m so happy we can get the third vaccine if all is well.

As for my other friends who refuse the vaccine altogether, and are very upset that there is so much pressure on them, I would like to remind them that no one asked them about diphtheria, smallpox, tetanus, polio, and tuberculosis…
