Well, now I've done it. I hopped in my car this morning (still thrilled with my clear vision) and drove to the Mirro center where I received my first anti-Covid vaccination. Everything I had heard from friends about the process was absolutely true. Start to finish I was there for 25 minutes and that included the required post-shot 15 minutes of observation to make sure I wasn't going to go into anaphylactic shock or do anything else dramatic and exciting. I loved the huge digital clock projected on a screen at the front of the "recovery room." I could count down the seconds until my 15 minutes were up. I asked the nice nurse who gave me my shot how many she gave in a typical day. She said she worked a four hour shift and average 50 to 60 shots in that time. That seemed like a pretty good pace to me but realistic. I was only in that chair about two minutes. Signs and people made sure I knew where I was going every step of the way and I felt that there was no time wasted. All in all it was actually a fun experience, except for that one little jab in the arm. Kudos to the people who organized this system in Fort Wayne. Even my 15 minute wait time wasn't wasted. A nice man with a rolling cart came along and scheduled my second shot, and also while I was waiting, I received a text telling me that I had just received my shot. I do still have pretty good short term memory but maybe some people need that reminder five minutes after the shot. Right now I'm waiting for those dreaded side effects. So far nothing. Stay tuned.
