Well this didn’t suck after all

My appointment is in the morning so maybe I’ll be ok.

I’m leaving early in any event.

Yikes - yeah leave early, never hurts. Love how people had to huddle together...not exactly COVID protocol.

Tuesday was well below freezing.

Tomorrow should at least be in the mid to high 30s.

My SIL was there Monday afternoon and waited 4 hours

As an aside...Mrs. George went for her 2nd dose today. This is being done at Northwestern, where she has her docs.

The longest delay we had, after finding a parking spot in the garage, was waiting for the elevator to take us downstairs to the site. There was no line to register, and no line to go into the actual vaccination site. From driving downtown, parking, getting vaccinated, sitting in observation and driving home was about 2 hours.

Not long ago people were saying the same thing about this very site. This is new.

Wife got her first dose (Moderna) today. Did it at the local pharmacy, 1100 appointment, no waiting.

Heading home for mine. Good luck today.

[jon-nyc]

Thanks man.

[brenda]

Hope you get right through to your vaccine today, Jon. Good luck!

[George K]

Good luck, Jon. Hope you brought something to read.

[mark]

Good luck, jon! I hope it goes quickly.

[jon-nyc]

Thanks guys, hitting the road now.

[Jolly]

May your wait be short and your vaccination symptoms be light...

Check in. It’s pretty streamlined I must say. A sign said they were doing 8900 vaccines here today.

[George K]

Impressive, and big!

At Northwestern they had (I believe) about 32 stations for injections, with the number administered so far being updated on screens.

This was Mrs. George's first shot, at about 11 AM:

[jon-nyc]

The shot area. I can only get a small part in frame. It’s huge

[jon-nyc]

And done. It was fast. Maybe they fixed the delays, or maybe they just start later.

Interestingly I don’t need to make a second appointment. Just walk in with this card, any time between 3 and 6 weeks hence.
