I’m already feeling anxiety about what Fall will bring. How many shots will be recommended...my husband works for a healthcare system that enforced the shots until the 3rd one. Too many people were either leaving or they were having a hard time hiring which resulted in overburdened staff and facilities. I’m hoping they won’t enforce another one but I think they will say regardless of booster status it’s flu season so line up. My husband runs one of the hospitals and I think he now finally feels like he was forced to force the shots on employees. Before it was the “shots work and they will keep our staff safe and at work”. They got employee engagement screenings done. ER had a lot of dissatisfaction with the required shots and admin while they got their highest rankings ever amongst the doctors(med staff). They are the ones pushing these vaccines...on the front lines. Now he’s disappointed. People gonna people. He tried hard to sell it but not everyone bought in. He feels he had no choice. It’s frustrating to see him go through this process because I’ve said all along they should be a choice and I think he agrees but fears for his job. He’s not a fake the funk guy so this was tough for him. Now we have our first grandchild coming and our daughter in law works for said health system. She will not want the shots while pregnant so this could get sticky. She would not get the booster. It all gives me such anxiety.

Also I read proteins stay in the lymph nodes 60 days or so. Is that why my right underarm(same side as shot) swelled up to softball size? It lasted a few weeks. Our doc friend said that means your immune system is getting tested and doing it’s job. I didn’t feel so great about it. I don’t want this again. They always have excuses!
