Caller and his wife took the variant COVID-19 Vaccines today, went home, looked at their cards, to find out it was the same bivalent COVID- 19 Vaccine. Their primary doctor was an innocent bystander. Caller was assuming that eventually they will end up with some variation of the booster variants every year. He was guessing it was going to be like the Flu shot. Medical staff told caller they usually get 6 or 10 doses out of the thing. Caller and his wife were the first two to get a dose today.

When he would lay on his on left shoulder, it felt like a light vibration. He was given the pacemaker, then had Atrial fibrillation, then given the medicine to take care of it. Investigations: none primary doctor and specialist were really good about keeping bloodwork up. caller gave blood today.
