COVID-19 Vaccination in Dubuque Simple and Smooth
I expected a lot more difficulty. My experience in getting my first COVID19 vaccination in Dubuque was remarkably simple. Anticipating some hassle, I arrived early, a good 20 minutes ahead of my 1:25 PM appointment. Instead of trouble, I was greeted at the door with no waiting, then ushered to a table where workers were confirming insurance information. After receiving a questionnaire, I was directed to another table near by. As I recall I had to write and print my name, and check a couple boxes, and that was pretty much the extent of the form. As I finished that, someone was asking me which in which shoulder I'd like to have my injection. After a quick needle poke, it was over to a waiting area to be certain I didn't experience any sort of dangerous reaction, and I was on my way back out the door.
I can't think of any way in which things could have gone more smoothly (OK, a more prepared patient may have been smart enough to wear a short-sleeved shirt). Kudos and thanks to everyone involved. Coordinating the legal, medical, and logistic issues involved is an enormous undertaking, and I couldn't have been more impressed with the organization and professionalism from everyone I encountered.
I'll be going back for the follow-up injection, and I'm feeling confident that that trip will go smoothly, too. Even if it doesn't, my initial visit was a breeze.
