[GreenKeys] Vaccinations

[John, W9DDD]

The military application of penicillin reference reminds me of a bad 
memory. When I was about 5 or 6 I got pneumonia.  My little cheeks were 
like pin cushions.  It was a series of shots in those days. They soon 
ran out of virgin territory and had to start repeating injection areas. 
I have no recollection of how long that went on, but it seemed like forever.

Back to current times, wife and I managed to get the one shot version 
about 5 weeks ago.  I barely felt anything, maybe lethargic for a day. 
She has some soreness in the arm for a day or two.

We are both starting to have trouble remembering to put on the mask when 
we get out of the car to enter a business.

Then there's the medical practices that make you take a fresh mask when 
you enter.  I guess they have no idea how long you've been wearing the 
one you have on.
