I received my first COVID-19 vaccination on January 6, 2021, a date that is easy to remember for the wrong reason.

(On that day, the United States Capitol was attacked by a crowd, attempting to stop the certification of the 202 Presidential election. The Capitol sustained significant damage and the lives of Congress members and the Vice President were threatened.)

Since then I have received all recommended boosters. And I have never had COVID-19, even when my husband had it. He had been fully vaccinated and had a mild case.
