Today's vaccination experience
Got my first shot today at the SafeRestart Center over off Woodridge Dr.
Let me say I was very impressed with the whole operation. Plenty of people to direct you at every step of the way. Just have your email printout and ID with you and you will breeze right through. You stay in your car the entire time. The longest wait was the mandatory 15 minutes wait after you receive the vaccine, just to make sure there are no complications.
I entered off Woodridge Dr, but it's actually easier (and more direct) to just turn onto Tatonka Dr off CR 466 (at the Red Lobster).
All in all, I've been very impressed with Global Medical Response who they brought in to manage this operation. Yes, there were some communication issues (remember the Daily Sun printing the WRONG web address or discovering they wanted way too much personal data that really wasn't required). And it would be nice if there was some way to follow up after you get your initial acknowledgement (after helping several people who are tech-challenged, they all got their appointments and I still had not heard anything, but suddenly there it was yesterday and there were slots available for today) rather than just "waiting to be contacted". None of us like the unknown!
And yes, the sophistication of their system does require that you have internet access. So, if you hear of a neighbor who doesn't know about the procedure or finds it too daunting, lend a hand and help them.
