I understand the hesitancy. In my own family and my work place...it is purely political. It has nothing to do with race or gender. I do not argue....It is not my place to try to change someone else's mind.

I can tell you this...I do know several people who have had both shots...none of them had side effects that were any worse than any other vaccines. My husband says...by far the worst shot he has ever gotten was the second shingles shot...and we have had no less than 20 different kinds of vaccinations. (We have been to Africa). I am still waiting for my second covid shot.

Vaccinations are very personal...and I make no judgments for or against...but i can say this...if you want to travel...the odds are that in the near future.... covid vaccinations will be required.
