Second Booster

I had my second booster shot
And energetic, I am not.
I’ve gotten past the needle’s ouch
But can’t get off my cozy couch.

With no set plans, I am content
To hang around, the hours spent
With rest and music that sustains,
The vaccine coursing through my veins.

I have had mine too and no problems at all. I am looking forward to my next ten boosters.

I'll take the shots over the mask any time. Think we'll need another in the Fall? Stay safe and well "boosted", Ilene.

Better the booster than an AR-15 shot(s)! Aloha!

Good on you, Ilene. I had two shots and a booster, and I feel quite protected. I had no side effects except for being rather tired the evening of each shot. The next day I was just fine. Wishing you well!

They can make you drowsy and tired but it beats getting a bad dose of covid. Still waiting to be called. Tom

My wife was feverish and hot Reacting to her second shot. Her doctor said there’ll be no boost, Since trouble oft comes home to roost. Hope you feel better soon!
