Well, after two tries to get registered for the vaccines, B and I received ours on Friday. We were surprised to even get registered as the slots were usually all filled within 10 minutes of posting them. The vaccine clinic was set up at the university and we rode in silence in the car there. I think both of us were a bit nervous of what to expect since this is a first for us as for many people. We were pleased to see how well organized everything was. A number of people were on hand to move us along to where we needed to go. The sign in took no time at all and then we were sent to tables that were set up individually for the shots. I was expecting pain since I am a big chicken when it comes to shots but I didn't feel a thing. The nurse said that the most common side effect was a sore arm. Which, by the way, I have been feeling since last night. Not painful just uncomfortable. After the shot, we were directed to an adjoining room to sit for our 15 minutes of observation. The university provided free snacks while you waited. B took advantage of that. After the 15 minutes, we checked out...setting up the second dose appt at that time. All in all, it only took 30 minutes. We received texts from children making sure we were ok. Oldest son will receive his next week.
B and I believe this is another indication of "light at the end of the tunnel".
It must be such a relief to have one thing less to worry about. May the 2nd dose offer the same ease.
