Socially Distanced Vaccine Waiting Line
On March 26, 2021, I got the second dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine on the SUNY Albany campus in Albany, New York, USA. The shots are given in a huge tent--a very well-run operation! This particular day, we had high wind advisories &, when I arrived for my appointment, I was told the site was closed & to return in 1 1/2 hours. My second visit, there were long lines because of the appointment back-ups. Even so, I waited outside in a masked, socially distanced line for only about 15 minutes, inside the tent for another 10-15 minutes before receiving my shot, & finally another 15 minutes, seated in the socially distanced observation room. My temperature was taken as I entered the tent & I felt very safe. I am thankful to have received this vaccine! According to the CDC, in two weeks, I can safely meet indoors, unmasked, with other vaccinated persons & even hug them--something I haven't been able to do for more than a year! I am really looking forward to that!
