The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. Likewise,
the best time to become fully vaccinated against COVID-19 is months ago. But if
you haven’t done it yet, there’s no time like the present. The vaccines are
safe, effective and free. It’s really in your best interest (and everyone else’s)
to get this done as soon as possible, unless you just had a flu shot. Then, you
should wait two weeks. Some people feel a bit achy or feverish after an inoculation,
so it’s good to have aspirin or ibuprofen on hand (just don’t take it preemptively).
Wear a shirt with short or loose sleeves that are easy to roll up. Be sure to
eat and drink before you get your shot, and don’t plan a marathon, a blood
donation, or anything else strenuous for immediately after. Your immune system will
be getting a workout. The rest of your body should be taking it easy.
