135. I think from the number of cases like

like your aunt's friend that it is apparent that the vaccine is, as you say, not effective with everyone. The problem for me is that I don't know if I am one for whom it is effective or not. I have considered asking my NP if I can be tested to see if I have developed antibodies. My reaction to the second Moderna shot was very mild. I had a few muscle aches in my upper back the day after the shot, a loss of appetite, and a very slightly elevated temp, up only about 3 tenths of a degree.

Regardless of claims that people who had mild or no reaction to the vaccine are still fully vaccinated, I suspect that the lack of a robust reaction indicates a lack of robust antibody development. Since I had a mild reaction to the shot, I am hoping that it means that I would at least not get a severe case if I do get infected.

I am in a bordering county to yours. Our county health department statistics showed an increase in hospitalizations and deaths in the last couple months. There was another death this week. We are a sparsely populated county, so just a few deaths are significant here. One third of our cases are in the age group from 0 to 39, but there are no deaths in that age group. So the recent hospitalizations and deaths must be from older people who have already been vaccinated. I am 71, and continue to double mask and socially distance from others although I am 6 weeks past my second Moderna shot.
