I got one with no problems at all, but I am not taking a DMT. I have gotten all the vaccines my doctor advises me to.

I got it. Mine was a 2 part vaccine given about 2 months apart. The second one made me very sore and a bit “off” for a couple of days, but my worst part was the needle…i am horribly needle-phobic. I am not on any DMT.

I have been weary...I have been holding off. Mom told me I suffered terribly with chicken pox. I will do mine as summer fades.
