My 80 and 87 year old parents got their second Moderna vaccine today! Definitely a moment. I'm a little emotional about it. And after a year sitting home, they just signed up for a fall bowling league. They're also going to start signing up to attend Mass. These will be huge in their lives.
That's really great. Very similar to our family. DH's parents are 89 and 87 and devout Catholics. They get the second vaccine (Moderna) on Thursday. They are looking forward to attending Mass again in person, something they've missed very much.
In other news today....My 68 year old neighbor just told me that she has a shot at two appointments next week (at two different locations) and is deciding between the J&J or the Moderna before tomorrow, so she doesn't hold up a slot for someone else. So we're already getting to that place....where people may have a choice.
And I just got an e-mail about an hour ago that a local food-bank in my town can use me as a vaccinator! I signed up awhile ago through the state, and somehow my info got to the place that is very close to my home.
