When the 1918 Spanish flu hit Germany, Ursula Haeussler was just three years old. She grew up on a farm near Berlin and her first memory is of her uncle and godparents visiting her family, coming down with the flu and passing away from the illness within days. She said they were all between the ages of 25 and 30 years old.
So when Haeussler got the opportunity to get a COVID-19 vaccine last week, she took it. She received her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine Jan. 22 at Kaiser Permanente Fremont’s vaccination clinic, and she said it didn’t hurt a bit. “I didn’t feel it at all, it’s really good. . I was a little bit tired a few nights maybe, but that’s it.”
