I got my COVID-19 vaccination (dose 1) this afternoon. The state of Washington’s DOH Vaccine Locations website has been adding sites in recent days, and I got in on the first day of Tier 1B (age 65+) appointments at Seattle’s famed Fred Hutchinson research center. Saw the site listed this morning, made my appointment, and off I went.
The place was busy but not super-crowded. Most of those in line were geezers Boomers like me, with a smattering of younger people; they might have been healthcare/essential workers or people with serious risk factors. In all, it took me about an hour and a quarter, including the 15 minutes of sitting around in case of immediate side effects, anaphylaxis, and the like. That’s why there’s a clock/timer in the above photo.
