    Get back!!!

    At 8:15 tonight I got a call to schedule me for vaccination

    It's on February 27 at 7:10 am in Bethlehem, about 25 miles north east.

    I think I will leave home sometime on the 25th, just to make sure I am there

    I should add that I had preregistered this week with the county and two different hospitals. The call tonight came from the last hospital where I registered.

    Glad you got a date! I've registered with four places so far.

    When you get your shots they will give you a card similar to this make sure you don't lose it and make multiple electronic copies. soon you will be required to show it to do many everyday things.

    It's the first time I've looked forward to getting a shot.

    Make sure you have something soft to land on when he tells you the price, Bo.

    Thanks a lot guys---here I am just trying to help Bo out and you stand in the way of a little commerce.

    I got my first shot today...When they emailed me I had to sign up on the hospital website and they gave me a choice of appointment times, all ten minutes apart...I chose today at 1400 hours...I figured I'll go in sign some papers, show some ID and go home...No...

    I got to the designated place at 1345 and joined a procession of cars backed up for several blocks outside the parking lot...When I got to the parking lot I was waved toward a line of other vehicles...I counted six lines...At this point there was no way out...The parking lot was full of these six lines snaking back and forth between checkpoints...At each checkpoint there were questions asked, papers to fill out and ID's to check...After an hour and a half I got to the point where I got the shot, all without leaving my truck...By this time the six lines had spawned into 12...After the shot I had to wait another 15 minutes in case of a bad reaction...

    Nearly two hours after I got there, I was headed home...My question now is: Why did I have to make an appointment?...They had me on a list with pre-printed labels they peeled off and stuck on my new vaccination record...I could have gone any time of the day and been stuck in the same traffic jam with the other 5,000 vehicles that were trapped there with me...As I left they said I'd be notified in 21 days so I can be stuck once more with the same 5,000 people for my second shot......Ben

    Got my first dose yesterday. Already I'm growing that third eye I've been hearing about as a side effect. Nuts.

    Mass vaccination site, about a half hour including sitting for 15 minutes to check for any reaction.

    I had a weird conversation last week with a guy who runs a small repair shop. He said he was waiting for the JJ vaccine. That's the good one, he said. The others make you sick. I didn't try to argue with him.

    And yesterday, before my shot, I read that the FBI was breaking up a Russian disinformation campaign designed to sow doubt about the Pfizer/Moderna vaccines do as to make a opportunity to market the Russian vaccine. So that's the source of my weird conversation. Russian disinformation. It reaches up here as well as more urban places.

    I got juiced up with Moderna.

    I am happy for both of you guys and sorry for your bad experience Ben.

    That varies from mine considerably. I had a 7:15 AM appointment for both shots given at a hospital. I was directed by excellent signage to a parking garage, then into the elevator lobby, up two floors, signed in, got my shot, waited 15 min and was back in the garage in about 35 minutes.
    My wife went for her first on Monday at 9:30 am, walked right through, waited 15 minutes and was out in 25.

    The lack of coordination and management of this entire process is sad----but the good news is, it is working.
