Your medical provider should know not to do it, but don’t get both vaccines in the same arm, and possibly don’t get them at the same time. This is mostly for our elders, but anyone getting these — these vaccines can heighten each other and cause a more severe set of side effects. Stay safe! Get your vaccines safely!

A trend I would love to see take off is going to your local coffee shop and buying a preloaded gift card for them to use when health care workers come in. I feel WAY more appreciated getting free coffee than all the clapping, signs, and random thank yous combined.

As an FYI: if you ever have to narcan someone, start with the lowest possible dose and work your way up. The goal is to get them responsive, not slam them into full instantaneous sobriety.

And then keep an eye on them (if they won’t go to the hospital), because the narcan will wear off and they might still be too high to stay conscious/alive.
