Another relief
Mar. 5th, 2021 07:20 pmMy sister had her Covid vaccination this morning. Slight cock-up on the organisation front, though. She got to the pharmacy at 8:05-ish for an 8:10 appointment, its shutters were still up and there are about three people waiting, all of them also with an 8:10 appointment and wondering where everyone was. It had gotten to about 10 waiting by the time the pharmacist appeared from around the corner of the building.
"Er, sorry, we're using the side-door for vaccinations. I was keeping an eye out for people, but I was looking out of the upstairs window, and you're all standing against the front of the building so I couldn't see you."
This is what signs were invented for.
So once they actually started they had one person checking off the details of the folk in the queue using a tablet. Once she passed you it was in the door, up a steep flight of steps (so not at all great on the accessibility front), the pharmacist checked medical details, told her she was getting it in her left arm and before she'd even finished rolling her sleeve up the nurse had done the jab (Astro-Zeneca).
Stripped down, efficient, but definitely in need of better signage!
