It just wasn't on my radar, and then a couple of months into the pandemic I broke out with a horrible case all over my face. I had trouble getting seen because it was on my face and the provider thought it was a "headache" (in other words, Covid) so I didn't get the antiviral medicine soon enough. My eye swelled shut for a week. I am still dealing with the residual effects after four years.

Get the shot!
