Three days after my first vaccination the soreness in my arm was almost gone, and I had no redness or swelling. After the second shot, minimal soreness. No other side effects to report. I feel fortunate. I am now fully vaccinated.

    1. Yes it is, I have felt the same way. So it felt quite strange to resume wearing them during a weekend trip to Chicago, where things are not quite so far along. It was a vivid reminder of where we all were just a few months ago, and how important it is to keep working to get everyone to a good place. Thanks for sharing, and enjoy your next outing !
