Just another day

Today, I got my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine

I feel like this should be a huge thing, but it was a simple affair.

Understated importance

I got my dose at the Victoria Conference Centre. There were Canadian Red Cross vounteers helping to check folks in, give sanitiser, etc. There were two queues; both single file, multi-server. The first queue went to the registration desk. From there, you joined the second queue to see your vaccinator.

A few questions later and a sharp poke, it was over. I sat in the hall for 15 minutes to check I didn't react badly, then I left.

My appointment was scheduled for 10:55 Pacific time, and I walked out at 11:16 Pacific time, including my 15 minute wait. Amazing.

That's it. Quick and efficient. No system runs this smoothly without serious effort and skill behind the scenes.

Smiles all around.

Everyone involved with this deserves a huge thank you.
