Every time I see a TV story about getting a covid vaccine, the video shows a bare arm with someone jabbing a needle into flesh. Sometimes the jab looks pretty hard.

No one likes to get a shot, but in the case of the covid vaccines, I think it is a very good idea. My husband and I got our vaccines as soon as possible.

If the TV or newspaper story showed happy people going to a movie or visiting grandkids again, that would show the benefits of protecting yourself or others by getting the shot, not the brief unpleasant prick in your arm.
