Hanging Out My Shingle

Taking the vaccine for shingles
Two shot series, not a single
They say the second more than tingles
Makes you not want to intermingle
That’s okay, I’ll write a jingle
About an empty can of Pringles

In the "might as well" category - recommended by my primary care guy, and no charge under new changes to insurance! Yes, I know folks who have had painful episodes that lingered for months. I'll take a day of discomfort due to side-effects of the (non-mRNA) vaccine!

Funny, Jeff. I may live to regret it but I have not taken the shots yet. Have a great weekend:)

I guess I'm "of the age" where it made sense - thanks!
