"I didn't get it before because of the inconvenience to go get it," Rodriguez said. "They didn't really advertise places to get it." "If you are going to be with people, test as a favor to them so you know your status the morning of that day or at least a day before if that is possible to do," Dr. Loafman suggested.
"I shot over here -- in and out in 15 minutes. As soon as it is over, I'm going to call my friends and family to get down here and get the shots," he said."Earlier today, I tested positive for COVID-19," she said in a post on Twitter.
