Me, my wife, my buddy, and some co-workers signed up for a text alert system that would let you know if extra vax was avail before going to waste, none of us ever got notified.

My wife gets #2 in 10 days, and we'll have full protection in 3 weeks. The light at the end of the tunnel is finally here. I even got cleared to ride the train to work again, I am so pumped.
