I have no idea - I left the card in my glovebox. I'll look at it when I leave for lunch and report back.

This has been the only vaccination I've had since the usual ones you get as a baby/kid.
Glad you got your jab.

Just as an FYI, there are a fair number of vaccines that adults are generally recommended. At the very least, you're likely due for a Tdap (tetanus and some similar bad things) booster, and probably a zoster RCV (shingles, which are ****ing awful) vaccine as well.

IIRC one had to be 55 to eligible for the shingles shot (speaking for myself)...

If you remember chickenpox as a kid, the best description I've seen of it is taking all the chickenpox spread out on your body and putting it all into one spot on your torso. And unlike when you got it in 1st grade, there's no bonus of a couple days off school.

I remember I was watching Jason & the Argonauts on Super Station WTBS and felt an itch on my arm and scratched it. Then I felt another - scratched that. Then another - scratched that. Then another and I actually looked this time and it looked like a little blister. My parents were outside doing yard work and I went outside basically to go "WTF is happening to me!" by then I was covered in them...
