Edwin received his first dose of Pfizer around 4:00 this afternoon. The whole process was smooth and swift, much like when I got my own vaccination. They turned an out-of-business outdoor recreation store in Woodbridge into a vaccine site, and those people have it down.
After flashing his appointment time on my confirmation email, we were directed to follow the woman with the orange flag to a table where they asked Edwin questions and took my information. Then we were directed to the man with the blue flag, who pointed out the table where Edwin would get his shot.
The shot was in and out before he even realized it, and I barely even caught of glimpse of it. After the woman gave us instructions about scheduling his second shot, we were directed to another cheerfully waving orange flag, where a woman directed us to the observation chairs.
And that’s how you vaccinate.
