I received my (only) Covid-19 vaccination last night!

Took me a number of tries to get an appointment. My classification (2 or more risk factors) became eligible in Colorado last Friday, and the first few times I tried for an appointment it was taken by the time I finished the form. Finally got a spot toward the end of the night, and I stopped by King Soopers and got jabbed.

And since it's the Johnson & Johnson variety, that's that...other than the fact that this will likely be an annual ritual, just as getting the flu vaccine is.

I'll take it. Also, this should clear me for international travel as things start opening up in a few months of so (Thailand!).

I'll update if there are any further effects, but so far....nothin'. I did read that the J&J vaccine has a considerably lower incidence of side effects, only occuring roughly 1/5 as often, as I recall.

It was interesting walking past cars in the parking lot with T****, NRA, Oath Keepers and 3% signage on them. They ARE getting their vaccines, but will NEVER admit it.
