Poked vaccine 💉 💉 arm is a little tender today but not too bad. Lying on it last night wasn’t great.
I am still getting used to the fact we have access to all our health records online.
It’s really cool to be able to see everything from yesterday’s […]

Booked my covid/flu vaccination last night - contemplating riding my bike to the appointment, even though it will be dark. It's mostly on protected bike lanes, so I think I'll do it.
Plus, I'll get to try @EsquimaltBC's newest bike lane!

Crowded lobby filled with people
Line of folks waiting to get #Covid vaccine at Kaiser Berkeley is wrapped around the lobby & out the door, w 3 nurses on duty. Evidently it’s been this way all week. The vaccine always makes me sick for a day - but it’s way better than Covid! #getvaxed now while you still can.
COVID vaccines save lives & not just your own.
When you get COVID & are contagious before you're symptomatic, you can expose people with weakened immunity.
It may not simply manifest as "a bad cold" for them.

Full disclosure...I really don't give two flying cow patties what RFK Jr. has to say. Vaccines work. Vaccines save lives. Vaccines stop the spread of disease. Vaccines keep us healthy and safe. I got mine and ready for the Fall and Winter Season.

I realize I’m yelling into the void here but for the love of god people, GET VACCINATED. All of them. Always.

In light of #HHS and #CDC being corrupted by antivax lunatics to alter recommendations for pregnant women and children to be vaccinated for #covid, here's a throwback to me at 7 months pregnant bringing covid shots to a local street fair in 2021 to help reach people without access to care. #GetVaxed
This is why "natural immunity" is absolutely not better for measles. #getvaxed
