I Have My First Dose Of Moderna's Vaccine This Morning


Thanks to Ditas and her cousin at Dignity Health( Macrine's niece), I was able to make an appointment for my first dose of Moderna's vaccine in our neighborhood hospital, San Juan Mercy's Hospital. I hope there will be enough supply of the vaccine for my second dose in 4 weeks.

The process was so streamlined and smooth via appointment on line and confirmation by e-mail. Ditas and I drove to the Vaccination site 30 minutes early. There was a line outside the door of the vaccination auditorium but was moving fast. There were a couple of steps of documentation, verification, checking of paper work and then the actual vaccination. All these steps took only about 30 minutes.  There was a 15 minute wait after vaccination to see if there are major side effects. 


So far I feel good and very happy, grateful and thankful to all the workers in the Vaccination Center. Special thanks to Ditas and her Cousin at Dignity Health.

Meanwhile, Enjoy this article on Fire Rainbows.

Have You Seen a Fire Rainbow? I have not seen an actual one only on photos and video posted in this blog.


Watch this 8 minute video. The fire rainbows is beautiful as it dances in the sky!

“Fire rainbows” are a rare phenomenon that only occur when the sun is higher than 58° above the horizon and its light passes through cirrus clouds made of ice crystals. At the right alignment, the crystals act as a prism, and refracts the light to look like a rainbow.
