Let's talk about COVID-19 vaccination. Have you and/or others close to you been vaccinated -- or had difficulty getting vaccinated? If so, talk about that experience.

My family and I have been fully vaccinated since April. Well, my immediate family.<strong> My family in Scandinavia don't have any clue when they'll be able to get vaccinated</strong>, I'm not sure what the status of vaccinations are there, but<strong> they're not anti-vaccers. My family in the Southern part of the US is not vaccinated.</strong> I think maybe one cousin and one uncle, maybe. But that's it. And the two of them are only vaccinated because they're nurses and had to.<strong> I think it's partially that they don't really support vaccinations and partially they don't think they're necessary</strong>. It's scary because I'll be seeing them later this month, and while I'll be fine...I dunno it just makes me nervous. <strong> Here in CT, it was easy breezy to get vaccinated.</strong> I went to a drive-through site twice, which was staffed by the state national guard (idk the proper terminology). It took a while, but it was convenient. I was able to join in over the phone on a work call. And the shot itself was totally fine.<strong> I read things like Kate Middleton just got her first dose a few days ago and it's bonkers to me. Like, I've been fully vaccinated for over a month!</strong> It's funny because I feel like America is always eons behind other countries, but somehow we're leading the world right now in vaccinations.
