I had phoned the week before to make sure that we didn’t need an appointment. We didn’t but as we went on the first possible day that the vaccine was offered, there were quite a few people waiting to take advantage of the early opportunity. The first difference was that we didn’t have to sign anything. Because of COVID, everything was verbal. This suited me just fine. I don’t like to sign things that I can’t see. Usually I like to have someone reliable with me to read any printed documents before I sign.
On Monday, we wore our face masks as we entered the drug store. This too was different from last year but this year it has become the norm. Our face coverings were of the fabric home made variety and the pharmacist was wearing a mask and a plastic full face shield.
The shot itself was easy but what surprised me was that we weren’t required to wait around to see if there was any reaction. I think that the drug store was just happy that we all cleared out as soon as possible. I have spoken with other people who had their shots in other locations. Some were required to wait and for others they were expected to leave right away.
It seems that many things are different this year and like most people, Lyle and I just do our best in trying to adjust. The most important thing right now is that we have had our flu shots. Have you?
