flight coming up in September. I wanted to get the boost closer to our trip. Then on Tuesday our son started feeling bad. Wednesday he tested positive. Kicking myself for waiting. So far the rest of the family is fine. Tested today and still not showing up positive. Our son lives with us but thankfully we did not spend much time with him right before he got sick. He was working long hours leading up to illness. I think he caught it at the barber shop or when he ate dinner in a restaurant with his friends.
