Wife has a close friend, who was a no-vaccine-er, in Texas visiting grandchildren and got COVID. Texas didn’t have a hospital room for her and was going to send her to New Mexico, just before they sent her a room opened up (maybe someone didn’t recover?). Now, like many others in her condition she’s telling everyone to GET VACCINATED. We haven’t heard if her grandchildren are ok. What if she recovers and a grandchild doesn’t, I couldn’t live with myself if it were me.

Get Vaccinated if not for yourself but to protect those who can’t (12 and under).

Default Boosters...doing whatever it takes

Of course we will get boosters....we want to do our part to stop this epidemic. Two of our 5 grandkids are too young to be vaccinated and we care about protecting them even though they are not in Florida and wish others would be more concerned about their own social responsibility.
It is just a tiny shot for heavens sake and FREE ! We got our flu shots this week and that actually hurt !!!!
So many stupid people out there...just disgusting
Medical doctor and wife

I wonder if you are vaccinated, and if not how old you are. I wonder.

Flu shot next month, covid booster in October for us.

The current surge of cases and hospitalizations that are overwhelmingly non vaccinated would suggest what to the non vaccinated?

I’m happy to say I have gotten my booster due to pulmonary issues.
We should be thankful that we have vaccines to checkmate the virus. I will gladly get booster shots whenever it’s necessary.
We are seeing what happens when ignorant fools who refuse to get vaccinated. They end up getting sick and/or die as well as spreading the virus to others. Personally, I don’t care what happens to them, but I have disdain for those who refuse to get vaccinated because it infringes on my health.

There are many -_________ every where. I will get the booster.
Those who choose not to get vaccinated and get covid should pay for their medical Bill's. God forbid if there is a major accident like a bus crash and the hospital has no room for those injured. Move those covid patients to the parking lot

The card was designed to be alyout paper record of the initial vaccination and as a reminder when to get your second shot.

I haven't seen how they will document any boosters.

Topspinmo, please stop with the misinformation. You are spreading misinformation and that causes DEATH. By not getting booster shot you are increasing the chance of getting infected and spreading COVID-19 and the variants.

Believe the science, get vaccinated, social distance and finally wear a mask!!!!

..and stay out of the hospital if you get sick. Free up the space for people who chose a momentary inconvenience in exchange for the best chance at preventing a communicable disease.
