It really isn't as rush a job as it seems.  The Covid virus has been around for some time.  This is just a new strain of it so they had to tweak the vaccines they already had to combat the newness of this mutation. True that they did rush knowing how long the vaccine will last; if you need to take a booster every six months or every year or what-ever. They know it works but they don't know for how long it works.

I already had my first dose of it a little over a week ago. Working where I do they suggest everyone get it. I've had 3 friends die from it. One was in her 50's, one was in her 60's and one just turned 70. At my office we already had 6 people come down with it.

Did you have any after-effects from it?

Just felt like I had a mild case of the flu. No fever, just the aches and pains. Arm was tender for a few days, but that's about it. I don't know how true this is but some say the second dose is worse, but I really don't know. Guess I'll find out in a couple of weeks. It's really not bad and much better than being dead.
