Added—I’m over 65 with no other risk factors, so your interval may be different.

Sorry for the image.

I don't mind the shot, just the after-effects - when they happen. And it sounds like you had some.

Drumsticks (the ice cream kind)!

The pharm was concerned I was going to be a scaredy cat, so I had to tell her I’ve been through allergy shots. No biggie but definitely deserving of a treat.
