COVID-19 Vaccine Update: So, I Finally Locked an Appoinment!

Assalamualaikum, hello and hye!

I don't feel like writing to be honest, I don't know, at this moment, that I'm about to write a blog post, I'm sitting beside a bed, lazily contemplating the way my brain keep telling me to get back to sleep, when I still have too many assignments to work on, I tell myself, 

"You might think these days are normal and boring, but until the years pass one by one, and soon enough, you'll find paging through your old journal entries feel like visiting the old time once again. So, write."

 

30th July 2021, Friday

Covid-19 Vaccine is something I chase after it, like a dog after a stick, some sort of that. So, when I succesfully lock an appoinment, I couldn't be happier. I supposed to get the first dose on 22nd July, apparently, for some reason, they change the date to 26th July. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get the first jab on the exact date. (Yeah, once again)

Why?

Because...

Back on 2014 and 2016, I've had severe immune reaction to a previous shot of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) and ATT (Tetanus Toxoid) vaccine. Which, I suffered a lot.

Due to this matter, they reschedule my appoinment for the first shot on 2nd August at the hospital. Maybe, they think I might be having a severe (or isn't severe) or an immidiate allergic reaction after the vaccination. (I better pray for life, man 😅) 

Though most people I know got sick after their shots but it doesn't stop me to get the vaccine. I mean, I'm nervous about it but my own caution would be enough to protect me, I hope so.


Toodles.
