It's a great relief to both of us. I've had both of mine for over a month now through work. We've been waiting for her to become eligible and then have a place to get it and our Doctor called us this morning to tell us they have them. I had Pfizer and she will be getting Moderna so hopefully the side effects won't be too bad. Better than the virus effects I'm sure!
