I was negative on Thur but had congestion. Positive Friday morning. Wife was positive Thur afternoon and had just lost smell and taste so we made an appt for her. Added me on fri morning

Four shots

One in each arm (subcutaneous) and two in the stomach

Typically should see improvements in 24-48 hrs

And anyone in the house exposed is eligible so kids going down later to be safe

Wife and son have asthma. My cholesterol is a tad high and we could stand to lose weight but not obese. Just a little overweight
