Pfizer #2

In and out in 20 minutes. Yesterday Becky and I got our second Pfizer vaccine shot. The process this time was even more efficient than our first time which I wrote about here. It helped that we knew what to expect this time but we were still pleasantly surprised at how well run the state ran this operation at UB South Campus.

It took twenty minutes from the time we walked into the building, checked in with the State Trooper, filled out the brief paperwork at a desk, went into the vaccine room where we immediately sat down for our shots and then waited fifteen minutes in the lounge for potential side effects. Yes, that was just five minutes to get our shots.

The whole process from the time we left our house until we were back home again took less than an hour. Later in the day I had a sore arm which has continued through the night and into today but no other effects.

We both feel so much better now that we've had our second shots and are looking forward to two weeks from now when we will be fully vaccinated from these shots. I've been reading the CDC guidelines that came out this week concerning the recommendations for those that at are fully vaccinated and their interactions with other people. I can't wait to start going to restaurants again although being very careful.

We are also looking forward to driving down to Philly in a couple of weeks to see Katie, Todd and the kids. We're expecting to see Betsy and Joe, Dan and maybe a few other people too.

And then of course in another few weeks after that we will go see Sean and Ashley and the new baby. 

We've also made arrangements to spend a week in Long Lake with Katie and the kids.
