I know there are alot of people that are a little scared of the vaccine or don't intend to get one, but we were certainly looking forward to it. AZ is a little ahead of the curve about getting the shots out to the public. They included people over 75 along with the first responders and essential people.
Denny was able to get his first shot January 12th. Our son, Darin, made the appointments for us from his home in Washington. So glad he offered to do it because it was quite the process. We feel so lucky to have such a thoughtful son. We have friends here that it took several tries, even days, to get one. Denny got his the first day they offered them. It was a little disorganized, but think it will get better over time. It took 2.5 hours. We were in 3 lines. The first was just to get in the stadium gate. The next line was for checking in. The 3rd line was for the actual shot. Denny is considered high risk because he is allergic to bees and takes a blood thinner. Being a high risk means you have to wait 30 minutes after your shot instead of the regular 15 in case there are side effects. There is an ambulance and EMT's standing by. Luckily Denny had no side effects except for a sore arm at the injection site which is pretty common for any shot.
Next Tues, Feb 2nd, he will get the 2nd shot and I will get my first one. Darin was able to make both at the same time.
Not sure why it takes so long when you have an appointment. They must make too many at one time or make the appointments too close together.
