Victoriously Vaccinated

I think I put myself on every waitlist in the Brazos Valley to get the covid vaccination. I stated that I’m an educator and that my son is medically complex, has nursing at home, and that it is important for me to be vaccinated as his caregiver. I was told a few times that I didn’t qualify. However, today I claimed victory through a vaccination!

I was approved for vaccination a couple weeks ago, but between vaccine shortages, and the snowpocalypse, my appointment had been rescheduled twice. I was apprehensive about whether or not getting the vaccine would actually come to fruition today. I made sure I filled out the appropriate paperwork, showed up early for my appointment, and had everything I needed in hopes that it would, and that I hadn’t squandered my lunch break in vain. Much to my surprise not only was I successful in getting the vaccine, but they had the hub at the Brazos Center running like a well oiled machine and had me in and out much quicker than I had anticipated.

As I sat after the vaccine waiting out my 10-15 minutes to make sure I didn’t have a reaction, I sighed a huge sigh of relief. Getting this vaccine means that I can do my best to keep Zeke safe, my big kids safe, and my students and coworkers safe. My arm is definitely sore tonight, but it is worth it to not fear bringing home this awful pandemic to my household!
