My first shingles shot was bad, but I did not have any bad symptoms with the second.

As someone who worked ICUs many years ago and saw many people die hard deaths, it is an important topic!

Took it 40+ years ago, so I can’t help, but you will do great!

You can also get at CVS. I am too old and don’t remember having measles. Got my 2nd dose at the same time as Covid update.

Both were covered by Medicare and my co-insurance at CVS, had no problem. But on a good note, there was a line of folks getting vaccinations. Old, middle and school age!

I’m guessing masters in nursing and a degree in chemistry also gives me a level of expertise better than his!

Certainly not now with health care in the state it is. Back then, stays were long and much less acuity, but I still remember the patients with stage 4 pressure ulcers, seeing death and lots of enemas

Started my first NA job at 15, but the hospital I worked at limited hours until out of high school (back in the Stone Age) But also would not recommend for that age.

Yep, I already bought some stuff for a relative that teaches kindergarten in a public school.

Tylenol can have nasty effects if used incorrectly, there are no drugs that are 100% safe.

Yep, the TB San in my home county was still being used in the 1960’s.

It is beautiful, I love it when quilt is handed down!

A friend rescued 3 crazy quilt tops that were going to be thrown out, we tied one and it is currently giving comfort to someone going through chemo. The love stays with the quilt.

I went ahead and got both the mRNA and MMR this time. I remember having mumps but not measles, so got it. The pharmacy said they were getting a lot of requests for MMR and had to order more. I will get novavax in the fall I guess.

Stabbing yarn or thread with needles is an excellent outlet. I knit and quilt!
