FIL had his first COVID vaccine yesterday. It was local, but too far for him to walk, so I drove and Beast went inside with him. I lucked out in getting a parking space; there was, unsurprisingly, a lot of demand. I'm not clear how many people were scheduled for the same time—appointments were being offered at five-minute intervals, but there were a lot of people going into the building at nine o'clock.

There was a good set-up. Someone to oversee the car parking, someone inside to do temperature checks and someone else to dispense hand sanitiser. Beyond that I did not see, but Beast reports quite a long form that needed to be gone through, and as FIL said Yes to one question, he had to be checked by a doctor before getting the jab. And afterwards, everyone was kept for fifteen minutes, to check for reactions. All in all they were in there for about three quarters of an hour, and I was devoutly wishing I had taken my coat!

Second dose will be twelve weeks from now, so policy on that is fairly clear.

Still no sign of the mouse.

That's fantastic news!

They do seem to be organised in terms of actually giving the vaccine. Though I've seen a lot of places are telling people not to arrive early as doing so left a lot of vulnerable people having to stay outside in the cold.

Hurray! May it protect him well!

The aunt I'm responsible for is due to get her first shot next Wednesday and I am very happy about that.

Good to hear he's gotten his first vaccine!

Hopefully the mouse has managed to escape outside.
