I unexpectedly got my COVID-19 vaccine on Sunday, and I’m pretty sure I’m happy about it.

Of course, I feel very lucky that I was able to get the shot at a time when millions are waiting, trying anxiously with much frustration, to get theirs. About two weeks after this shot, the data suggest (even before my second shot in 4 weeks) that I will have a very high immunity to the virus and that I will have protection against the risk that I will spread it to others.
