I was going to read scientific literature about the vaccine that I just got, but @reluctantlyjoe has it pretty much all summed up here with help from the v fun Q&A of comments.
I’m hearing from so many confused friends. If getting JYNNEOS intradermally, you should look at your injection side after injection but before the bandaid goes on. If there isn’t a bleb like this, the shot wasn’t properly placed and you likely won’t have protection.

Thankful my injection was done correctly, and even if it's lower immunity, I'll take some over none. Make sure you schedule your second dose after completing your first - it's just as/more important now that we're "spreading" the dose.

Four thoughts for day 4 of Covid: 1) can’t imagine what this would be like if I wasn’t vaccinated or boosted. My symptoms are relatively mild to moderate, but no walk in the park.

4) it took me at least 24h to realize I should report my test results to the state, since it was a home test. If you’re a Vermonter, here you go. If you’re from another state, search for yours no matter how long ago you tested positive - data helps! healthvermont.gov/covid-19/t…

Finally a thread as riveting as Zola, but so much worse
1) Let me tell you a crazy story. It's consumed 2 years of my life. As COVID-19 shut down the world in April 2020, I decided to follow the money. I began with a call to a no-name federal contractor who’d somehow landed a $35M deal for masks. Hours later, I’m on a private jet …

Living in an apartment building again after 3+ years in single-family homes is really a trip. Also, living alone. As much as I'd like a relationship, I really wish people could experience and enjoy time with themselves more often.
