I remember when my husband had his first stem cell transplant and they wanted anyone in the family, or those visiting to have their flu shots, this was pre-covid. He had to get various vaccinations again, as if he were a child, we were told. They had destroyed his immune twice for the transplant.

People need to think about how their decisions might affect others around them, a virus they might be able to fight off could be a death sentence for someone else.

Hoping that everyone who wants a vaccine can get one and not be constrained by a law or the need to pay out of of pocket. We're headed for a rocky time.

Be well and watch out for others.
