There is an interesting vaccine line the NY Times has out. You put in some parameters and it tells you where you may be on the list.
In my county I am 5th from the last person, ha ha. I figure for each person vaccinated it means it lowers my chance of getting the virus.
5th from the end. Really? That makes you younger and healthier than most!
Well I wish that were true but there are 3 things pushing me to the back of the line. First I don’t work, two I don’t have any of the listed health issues and three at 62 I don’t fall into the age priority.
Good news is last night the FDA approved the Pfizer vaccine, so let the lines begin 🙂
I keep reminding myself that there’s light at the end of the tunnel. And that is really miraculous.
