My wife got her first Moderna vaccine shot early today. So far, all good. I’m still waiting on my application to come up in the line. Will be a few weeks here in PA before they open up the next phase to the general public. For now, they are clearing up the backlog of first tier priority applicants.
Hope to get mine by the end of May before the next wave hits.
My wife said it was an experience she didn’t expect. Some folks crying with the relief of getting it and finally not fearing working their jobs and risking their families well being...and older folks celebrating receiving it and not fearing being vulnerable anymore. One older man was hugging all the nurses and asking for pics to be taken with them, joyous that he may become able to spend time with his grandchildren again without fear.
Across the board, she said the palpable sense of relief from those who got it was amazing.
For us, this is just an added layer of protection. For so many more, it is a wicked weight being lifted from their reality and a profound liberation.
We had never fully realized that before...until today.
