While getting a shot 
may seem trivial these days, we often take for granted the absence of many diseases our parents and GPs suffered (polio, mumps, diphtheria, etc)
#CovidVaccine is historic in keeping ours and future generations safe
Thankful
to receive it today 1/1

Spoke to my Dad a few months ago about this, and the game changer vaccines were in the 50’s and 60’s.
He had a cousin who died of “lockjaw”. Tetanus for you non-Texans.
He also recounted stories of others who suffered what are now vaccine preventable deaths /2

I cared for one tetanus patient in the 23 years since graduating 
Med school
That patient survived. It was brutal to watch.
I cannot imagine the helplessness am sure my great-aunt and uncle felt watching there son suffer /3
