This afternoon, Lisa and I got our flu shots and the new COVID vaccine. It was so new that the local Walgreens only received it this morning, and they'd initially called to tell me that they wouldn't be able to give me a vaccination for which I'd made an appointment because they didn't have it, but then they called me back later to say that we should come in after all.
We were there early for our 4:45 PM appointment, with our paperwork filled out and signed. We checked in and waited. Around 5 PM, someone came with blank versions of the same paperwork that we'd already submitted, but at least in that case someone called him back saying that they already had it. We got our shots (one in each arm) around 5:20, and hung around as they asked for around ten minutes. That was not a problem as we had some shopping to do there anyway.
This is our sixth COVID vaccination. I'm glad they were authorized and distributed now, because I leave for the Chengdu Worldcon on October 14, and this will give the vaccinations time to get to full effectiveness, I hope.
