It is actually federal law that providers maintain electronic data on your healthcare (EMR Mandate, etc), so the data is out there somewhere.

On that note: second moderna shot in the am, by bedtime I was sore all over to the point that it was hard to get comfortable in bed, and felt fine the next morning.

This come as fear rises that vaccine hesitancy will prevent the United States from ever reaching “herd immunity,” as The New York Times reported this week:
Now, more than half of adults in the United States have been inoculated with at least one dose of a vaccine. But daily vaccination rates are slipping, and there is widespread consensus among scientists and public health experts that the herd immunity threshold is not attainable — at least not in the foreseeable future, and perhaps not ever.
Instead, they are coming to the conclusion that rather than making a long-promised exit, the virus will most likely become a manageable threat that will continue to circulate in the United States for years to come, still causing hospitalizations and deaths but in much smaller numbers.
