I wonder what they'd do if it was in your eyes or a place they couldn't get to.

It's good that you were able to get vaccinated, even if had to be redone. I'm trying to get all my friends to get it, but somehow it's a hard sell.

I was glad my husband was with me yesterday because the nurse talked to him about getting his 2nd one. He thought he'd have to start over and get 2, so he didn't bother at all. She suggested he come with me and we get our 2nd one together, since it's never really too late, and he was more agreeable to that. Still, he had no reaction to the first one, so I can't understand why he doesn't just do it, however many it takes.
