I think I had the polio vax in the late 60s at school and it was taken in plastic shot glasses and it was a clear, syrupy mixture.
I also remember getting the smallpox vaccine at school because I remember the school nurse walking through the classroom looking at our arms a few days (?) to look for the pox.

My in-laws (70+, Florida residents) got their first doses of the Moderna vaccine a few days ago. No side effects AFAIK.

I'm lining up for the shot as soon as I'm eligible. Hopefully my status as a cancer survivor will bump me up the list.

I'm worried that the covidiots will be out in droves as Mardi Gras approaches, despite the cancellation of parades and balls. But I doubt I'll be able to get the shot before MG.
