Booster shot thoughts

My manager and a guy on our team who doesn't do a lot are well over fifty years of age. They are able to book booster shots.

The problem is that they are difficult to book. My manager has an appointment at my local drugstore. He doesn't live near me. His appointment is December 27. The other guy has his on New Year's Eve.

Considering that the province has opened up the appointment floodgates to folks eighteen years of age and older as of next Monday, I doubt that I'll get an appointment until mid- to late-January, if I'm lucky. I don't think that the system is ready for a large number of folks wanting to get booster shots.

Today is my last workday before I go on vacation. I am cautiously optimistic about travelling. My hope is that this advisory causes many to not travel. For folks like me who are taking a risk, but will play it safe while in the States, I hope that it's not too busy.

  1. Safe travels. Use the best mask and keep it sealed properly. Hope you can get the booster soon.

    1. Thanks so much, RP! I booked my booster shot appointment. I get it in January, so I am relieved. I definitely mask more than what's recommended in Minnesota.

  2. Better late than never, i say. Here's hoping you're safe in the meantime. (And of course, beyond that, but i mean, till you have the added security of the booster shot!)

    1. So true, Fondles. I have my booster shot appointment in January. I will be cautious and continue my usual procedures to protect myself in the meantime. =)

  3. Good luck, CutieBootie! Although it is not a guarantee, remaining cautious is the best we can all do.
