Comirnaty

Today, both Anna and I managed to get our first shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Considering the deep global inequalities of vaccine distribution, we certainly recognize how fortunate we are, especially now with the more contagious delta variant spreading through Sweden. The fact that not one, but several, vaccines were developed in less than a year is incredibly promising for the future and should be powerful corrective to those who doubt the problem-solving capacity of science.

The vaccination process itself felt super professional at the town clinic in Lycksele. Located about 135 km upstream along the Ume River, Lycksele is otherwise mostly famous for its zoo which we, to the delight of the kids, visited during the rainy morning hours. The drive back and forth on the E12 also gave us a chance to stop in Granö and its tree hotel which brought back many fond memories from Tvåälvsloppet.
