Picking my moment

I heard on Friday night that vaccination bookings had opened up for the 56-60 cohort (which I'm in), checked on Saturday morning, and I could have had an appointment for Saturday 13th at our local shopping centre, which just opened as a mass vaccination centre. But there's no way I'm going into central Chatham on a Saturday, when it's jammed full of people, and it's busy enough the rest of the week that I prefer to avoid it year round - one trip a year is my normal average even without Covid. On top of which parking is a nightmare and I usually end up in a car park that's only wheel-able in one direction due to a steep slope (I have to get out of the chair and waddle back to the car behind it as a rule).

A little extra web-poking confirmed my GP's surgery is also doing vaccinations, and that has a car park and level access, so I think I'll hold off for a week or so to see if I get the call from them.

I didn't expect to be quite this picky about vaccination, but I don't need to go anywhere or see anyone, so I can afford to wait a little.
