   I crammed in SO many tasks and errands to secure a day off tomorrow for vaccine recuperation. I got three tonight. Three.

   Found #Novavax nearby! 🎉 Also got flu shot. AND they already had the Mpox vax so I got that, too.

   Unlike many in my generation I never had the smallpox vaccine so I didn't even have residual immunity from that.

   My kid is not old enough for #Mpox (you must be--not 18, but 19!) so they only had two. Still, I am feeling okay so far while they are already sore.

     OH and just FYI, the pharmacist warned me that there is an increased risk of heart issues for those getting #Mpox vax and #Novavax at the same time, so if you have any heart condition (I don't), get them separately.

     And yes, it really was #Novavax.

     Apparently the CVS system can default to Moderna even if you select Novavax in the online scheduling, but our pharmacist was on top of it. (Despite how overworked and understaffed the pharmacy is, every pharmacy is.)

     Also I was right there while he was looking at the box next to me and filling out our vaccine cards.

     I bet I am the only person still having my Covid vaccine card filled out with each one I take 🤔
