Partial immunity, partial peace of mind

It's interesting to approximate how much relief I should feel after having one of two Covid vaccination shots.  I feel more at ease but not entirely relaxed.  After all, there's a difference between being fully and partially protected.  After my first injection, I sang softly to myself in the car, making up my own lyrics to Black Sabbath's "Iron Man."  Somehow, I doubt the song would sound as commanding if the group had used my lyrics, "I am immunized--not completely yet but partially!"

Qualifiers don't work so well in rock anthems, admittedly.
