I decide to forgo the second one. I only hope it was enough to offer protection. I've also had shingles and I don't want that again. I'll take both Covid shots, though, I don't care how sick I get. The clinic where I work is supposed to get the Moderna vaccine on Monday. Management is working out how to dispense it and in what order. We have has 640,000 patients/members in Colorado alone; it's an HMO.
