COVIS 19 VACCINATION

 My health care provider, UCHEALTH, informed all its patients that we would be notified when we were eligible to receive Covid 19 shots here in Colorado. News programs were constantly reporting how the process of vaccinating millions of people in different states was going. 

First states had to get the vaccine. Then decisions as to who would receive and when had to be made. Healthcare providers (nurses and doctors and first-responders) would be first but who next? Our governor at one point thought that prisons should be at the top of list. I do not know what became of that idea.

Then we heard people 70 and over here in Colorado would be receiving soon. Just how soon I didn't know. I was informed I should watch my email and check in my with my healthcare provider for updates. If I somehow missed the announcement about accepting an appointment for the shots my name would go to the bottom of the list. I looked regularly. Finally I was contacted and I signed up.

Today Cindy and I drove down to the Coors Field parking lot C to get my shot. We were really impressed about how efficient the process went.

After receiving my shot we moved to a holding area where we sat for 15 minutes to see if we were going to have any problems. I had a sore arm and I was a little light headed with a slight headache. That was it.

In 3 weeks I repeat this process. As soon as Cindy gets her two shots we will wait two weeks then head to Olive Garden to eat indoors.
