Got "the Jab" today. Moderna, take #1. Scooted over to Romero Family Practice at noon and Mr. Dr. Romero gave us the spiel, checked our vitals, and then a tech administered the vaccine. Totally painless. Damn that tech was good.
It turns out the Moderna people sent 20 gauge needles but the viscosity of the vaccine doesn't require them. So RFP is using long but thinner 25 gauge needles. I approve.
Waited 15 minutes, then they checked us for a reaction. We were cleared to go, got our vaccine card, and scheduled #2 for St. Patrick's Day.
For our efforts, the weather held off until after we were home to start snowing again. Nothing significant and rather pretty.
It's 9:30 pm and only the very slightest of tenderness on the injection site. We'll see what the morrow brings.
Speaking of tomorrow, I'll be up at the crack of dawn giving Henry a dose of Gabapentin, his anti-anxiety drug of choice. Then he gets loaded up in the carrier for a trip to Aztec Animal Clinic and an abdominal ultrasound.
We pick Henry up around 2:00 when we also take Paddy for a simple blood draw. Gotta check his T4 every 6 months or so.
