My Final Covid-19 Vaccine Experience... When I released my first episode detailing my experience with getting the first of two vaccine doses against the coronavirus, the total number of coronavirus cases stood at approximately 15 million. Unfortunately as I type this out the number stands at 27 million and likely by the time you read it that number will be outdated. That was less a month ago and I think that's all I need to say about the state of the coronavirus not only here in the United States but across the world. On today's episode I discuss how my experience getting the second and final dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and what it means to be fully protected for me and my family and friends.
