My first vaccine

Big news…I (Randy) got my first Covid shot. It came about because pregnant women, our co-worker Amanda, can get two people on the high priority list for a vaccination. It was a new thing in March and no one (doctors, health office, etc) really knew what to do. Katy found information online and got me signed up. After a week I was sent an appointment for two weeks later. So after three weeks from the time I signed in as “high priority,” I was in. Liam was born two weeks early and the appointment was already 4 days after the due date so I was not sure if I would actually get the shot. But they did not even look at paper. The idea of this program was so that I can help with driving her to the doctor or take care of the other kids. She asked the neighbor and either Katy or I. We talked about it and decided that I should get it first, for various reasons. My second shot is for 28 May. They are opening the list for group three (over 60 year-olds) on 26 April. Katy is going to try to stay up and get on the list as soon as it opens.
