My HERO!!!

My beautiful, brave, brilliant granddaughter is 8 years old. A month ago she and her little brother braved the wilds of the local pharmacy and took their first COVID vaccine. She was scared, tearful, but willing. After the vaccine, she went around the Walgreens and informed every customer in the store that she was no longer afraid of shots, but now LIKED shots. This is her today after receiving the second COVID shot AND her flu vaccine.

We need Band-Aid flags on every home!





I'm normally against any adulterated use of our flag such as for clothing but this might be a noble exception.

Thanks for posting and good job of encouraging your granddaughter. My 13-YO granddaughter is a very brave girl too!
