I put myself out there as a frontline healthcare worker and was vaccinated prior to Christmas. My second dose fell before the 1/20 time frame by over a week.

It was a one-off thing for me - trying to help - did COVID testing and vaccination until late April... As one of the first groups of people to be vaccinated, I am concerned that my immune response is starting to lessen.

It's sad and ironic that if I were the type to lie at all about this, I'd even have my state paying me to get a first vaccination - no ID required...

It's a hard decision - and I suppose my actions may depend on how booster shots are or are not approved.

are you still on the frontline? If so I'd personally be less worried about getting severely ill because you've probably had many small doses of exposure in your time there. Which is not precisely equivalent to a vaccine but is in the same ballpark.

I am not. I reported something and was fired the next day. I was also wearing a PAPR (N100 Powered Air Purifying Resperator) for the time I was doing testing. Though I was in close contact with many infected patients, I was also in pretty hardcore PPE. I'm doing much more photography for now and some music work as I find the right place in tech again.

I so want to respond with Orbital lyrics... but this is a very good point.
