Today we headed to Winterberry Health Clinic for our RSV vaccine trial checkup. We dealt with Heather, who is a bubbly RN.
Altogether a great visit, which started with this scene while we were in the waiting room (another rainbow greeted us when we arrived home).
And then this sign...
Reminded me of an Oscar Wilde quote:
"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist."
We're both on board with living!!
There are several benefits for participating in a vaccine trial. One of them is the financial benefit - we each received $200 today. Half for today's visit and the other for two phone "visits". That's a total of $400 each so far.
Another big benefit is the extra health care that goes with the trial. Mardi's head cold (two negative Covid tests) triggered a nose swab which will be tested. Any time in the next two years that we have a health issue, we will be given immediate attention. Kind of reassuring.
They're still looking for participants. Over 60 in good health, go for it.

Live a little. And stay well.
