It took days of registering and making calls to get my time and place for an appointment to receive the vaccine. When it opened for me I took a deep breath and was relieved and happy to be on my way toward getting ahead of COVID. Β Thanks to family and friends for giving advice, also making calls and sharing encouragement. The first appointment for me was last Saturday and even a slight sleeting did not stop my getting there on time. The whole thing was much easier than I expected – capable friendly technicians, an easy shot of the vaccine into my arm and relief for me. When the technician handed me the card she said, “Be careful with this – it is the proof that you have been here and received a shot. Don’t lose it.” Smiling I nodded to her as I adjusted my mask.
