In early December both Meg and Brett texted me to let me know that they would be eligible to receive some of the first COVID-19 vaccinations in Indiana. Brett and I had talked about it as a possibility because of their work at Bell Trace, but we didn't think that it would happen the first week the vaccination was approved. Neither one of them asked me for my opinion. They both decided that they were going to sign up. They felt it was the best way to keep the residents that they worked with safe and to help speed up the end of the pandemic. I was extremely proud of them and impressed with their demonstration of empathy and compassion for others.
Yesterday Meg received her final dose and this morning Brett did as well. Both said that it was the longest needle that they had ever seen and that their arm hurt afterward. Overall, the process, however, was an easy one, the side effects were mild and both were glad to be done. Our hope is that the rest of us will be vaccinated soon. Just like Brett and Meg we will sign up as soon as possible. An end to the pandemic seems to be on the horizon and it cannot get here fast enough.
