One Down, One to Go

Waterbury, Connecticut, 2/22/21

Yesterday afternoon we drove through a light snow storm to downtown Waterbury for our Covid vaccination appointments. Online instructions directed us to a parking lot on Scovill street, and then onto an adjacent school campus. Signs led us to a basement auditorium area. There was a line for St. Mary's Hospital or, depending on your paperwork, one for the Waterbury Department of health. The lines were busy, quick, and efficient. After our shots we were sent to a theater area for our fifteen minute wait. Staffers with clipboards were circulating. One of them checked our papers, determined we'd had the Moderna vaccine (others were getting the Pfizer) and set us up for our second shots exactly five weeks away. They even gave us a vaccination sticker that got us out of the parking garage for free. We were there for less than half an hour.
