THE “badges of honour” filling our social media feeds these days are photos of friends and families with frames declaring “I’ve been vaccinated”, “#vaccinated”, “I’ve received my 1st / 2nd dose” and so forth. One friend even dubbed it “the most well-known post-vaccination side effect”, in reference to social media posts each time someone received their Covid-19 jabs. Getting an appointment can sometimes feel like striking the lottery, as I have observed among family and friends. Those who have a few hours’ notice would have to rearrange their day’s schedule to make it for their appointment. I was fortunate enough to get a few days’ notice for my first vaccination appointment.
