which I'm really excited about! It won't change a lot, but I can at least see my grandkids after the wait period is over. They're sick of us visiting in the driveway. So happy!

I went to a large multi-functional clinic for mine, but the shot clinic itself is much, much smaller than the clinic you mentioned. It's run like a well oiled machine as you described, Mineral Man, but there were only about 25 people there for my first shot. Very friendly nurses, painless shot. We have a convention center downtown that is more like you mentioned, but that is always booked solid, at least so far. My doc sent me to the smaller shot clinic.
