New Vaccines

 This is new, and 90% effective compared to the one we received two years ago. That one was only 30% effective.  I got the vaccine Friday morning in my left arm and felt like I had the flu or shingles (horrible illness; I had it in 2012) until this morning.  Shingrix is in two doses.  Now that I know how uncomfortable it is, I'll get dose #2 when I have little else going on.

My right arm got the pneumonia vaccine and is tender with some splotchyness on the skin but is not too annoying.
