Moderna jab today in vegas

3 years ago

Today I joined a largest line at the Cashman center in Vegas for the first dose of the covid vaccine.
This is the second day of jabs being done at three locations across town.
After some difficulty getting my online appointment b/c their system was under stress of so many trying to sign up.
I selected my preferred location, date and time, and printed out the reservation form,which included a consent and authorization form, which really helped move things along at the site.
The line was longish and took about an hour of snaking around, following the yellow arrows on the deck, before getting inside the large hall.
The lines went through a quick check of papers and name entered into a computer.
Then to the injection tables, where I first learned I was getting Moderna.
Then to rows of chairs 6 feet across and front and back.
Here we sat as the vaccine cart rolled past each chair. One person swabbed arm, second person did the jab and a third person put on bandaid.
Cart rolls on to next person. The actual jab procedure could not have been more than 5 minutes. very very organized and efficient.
Each section remained seated after the jab until the section was innoculated.
Then the first row was released ina line to a side exit and they were gone. After the prescribed wait time the next row exited out the same and so on.
It was beautifully choreographed.

The entire process was under control of the United State Army personnel, including the injections.
It made one proud to see these young women and men work so efficiently, so courteously at this important task.USA !YA!
