Cycling post-COVID vaccination
The vaccination roll-out has been slow in Australia. That’s putting it mildly. This week I finally got my second jab. Apart from a sore shoulder, I had no side effects from the first jab. The second one wasn’t quite as smooth, but it still didn’t stop me going about my everyday life.
