Got my first shot this morning! There's a vaccination center set up at the convention center here in New Orleans, and my husband and I were able to get appointments at the same time. We got the Pfizer shot, and we've been automatically scheduled for our second shot in 3 weeks.
It was all very efficient. I uploaded scans of my ID and insurance card ahead of time, so I wasn't asked for them when I arrived. We had to get our temperatures checked, answer a few screening questions, then we got our jabs and a few pages of information about the shot (like what side effects we might experience), then we had to wait 15 minutes in case of an adverse reaction, and off we went. (So far, no side effects, but I understand that they sometimes kick in the day after you get the shot.)
They had a very New Orleanian theme going, including urging people to "be in that number". They also gave everyone a face mask with a big smiley face. We still have a mask mandate in Louisiana, and apparently it's unclear whether vaccinated people can still carry and transmit the coronavirus, so we still have to mask up.
I'm so glad I've gotten the shot. I know I won't be fully safe until a couple of weeks after I get my second jab, but I'm on my way - I'm in that number!
