We get our second jab in April (6th and 16th – different age groups).

That's only 4 weeks.

Yeah, I got my first jab on January 25th. The hospitals tend to give the Pfizer jab, which is harder to handle. The clinics give the AstraZeneca jab, which doesn't require such specialised refrigeration.

They both appear to be doing the job better than anyone predicted.

The whole country is supposed to be be let off the leash on June 21st. I've already booked our "staycation" in the UK. The first date I could get was in August.

Not having such differences here between the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is just starting to come, and like the one from AstraZeneca, can be stored in a refrigerator. I suspect, though, that there will be no such difficulties with the J & J vaccine, given how long the practitioners have been working with the Moderna and Pfizer ones.

Texas has already lifted all restrictions, and Mississippi will follow soon. Myself, I think that's crazy, given that all the new strains are appearing.

As for when the US will be "off the leash", don't see it happening any time soon. But if all of the UK will be "free", maybe we can visit our son and daughter-in-law in the fall (she is actually in the hospital now waiting to deliver our grand daughter).
