actual good covid-related news for once!!

so my mum, 67 years old, high-risk because of chronic lung-related illnesses and some other stuff, is not eligible for vaccination yet (she's a few years too young)

BUT

her brother (who is younger, but has a bunch of disabilities including one that gives him less... lung volume?) is eligible because of that, and she's officially his caretaker

and that does make her eligible

and she's getting her first shot tomorrow

TOMORROW

I'm so happy

TOMORROW

congrats to her (and you)!

aaaaaaaaaaaaah

Less than twenty hours from now!!

(of course it takes time to build up actual immunity but her body will be able to get started on that so soon!)

(we were expecting maybe May, if she got lucky)

yay!!

yaaaaaaaaaaaayy!!

so anyway, I celebrated too early and my mum didn't get vaccinated today after all

some bureaucratic hiccup, apparently, where mum's (and my uncle's) doctor was 100% sure they were both eligible but as it turns out, the doctor was 100% wrong and now my mum has to wait for an unspecified future time when her age group will become eligible.

(like I said, maybe in May if we get lucky) (it's still "maybe late August" for me, but I find that a tad too optimistic)

I'm just going to go have a good cry, if you'll excuse me

Oh nooooooo
