A Year Later

Yesterday I finally received my first injection with the Moderna Vaccine. I went to a county event and was pleased to find that everything was well organized, efficient and the staff was friendly and supportive. I remained at the facility for 30 minutes after the injection was given due to a past allergic reaction to another medication and was still out in less than an hour. So far, the only side effect that I have experienced is a bit of soreness in the arm that they gave me the shot in.


The year with Covid has been rough for everyone. I know my business was negatively impacted in 2020. I have friends that own businesses that have struggled mightily, many to not be able to stay in business. Many have struggled with loneliness and depression. Others have lost their life savings keeping businesses afloat or paying necessary expenses after a job loss. The government has stepped in with financial support, but, how long can that continue? None of this speaks to the loss of life.


Regardless of your political beliefs it is time to get our businesses reopen and allow everyone to get back to work. In addition, preventing the spread through vaccination will save lives. The best way that I know to make that happen is for everyone to get the vaccine.
