Vaccines!

I didn't realize Sam had taken pictures, but then they popped up in our shared folder & I thought this might be a memory we'd like to have documented on the blog. You know, for history. 

I came home from work the evening of the announcement that the pediatric COVID vaccine had gotten the FDA go-ahead & asked if it would be too annoying to call our doctor's office first thing when they opened. Sam replied yes it would, and that he was already on it, anyway.  He had been monitoring all of the provider websites to see when they were open for appointments (Hyvee, Walgreens, Health Department - not yet at 10:30pm) but then he was up at 4:30am and snagged appointments. 

According to the nurse, Amelie was the first under-twelve shot administered at Walgreens in Columbia. 

And James was the second: 

It was Saturday morning, so they didn't even get to miss school.

No complaints about a sore arm or anything - hopefully that trend continues for the second dose, which will be the Monday after Thanksgiving.
