After the long delay because I confessed to being allergic to Penicillin, last Friday the hospital called me, and this morning I went and had my jab. I feel so relieved. I know it will be twelve weeks before I get my second one, but at least the process is started.

I wish I could say the same for everyone else in Argentina, but we have still only vaccinated 17% of the population, and they are only down to the sixty-plus age group. As my friend Daniel, who is in his mid-fifties, said the other week, “I’ll BE 70 by the time I get vaccinated!”

I think the pace is picking up just a bit, so I’m feeling optimistic.
