Good Luck Sir!
Thanks. I'm week 2 out of quadruple bypass. I was "told" to avoid the vaccine for the foreseeable future.

Even more interesting. when i contacted the VA, to reschedule (1st & 2nd) time. I was told, no problem. Inquiring, i asked. Were we not suppose to have the 2nd shot within 30 days? Oh yeah, but don't worry. When you can, come in for it. ???
