walked over to Silver Heights IDA Pharmacy on Friday morning and got both my covid and flu shots… I’d been waiting as at my recent doctor’s appointment, the vaccines hadn’t yet arrived… I called the Pharmacy on Wednesday and booked an appointment…

they have the system down pat, you sign a form, sit down and wait maybe a minute, Devarshi comes in and pops a needle into each arm and away you go;-)…

once I got home I took some Advil hoping to stop any sore shoulders, lol…

yesterday, I called and made an appointment at Silver Heights IDA Pharmacy and walked over for my flu shot…

signed a paper, sat down and waited a few minutes, and it was done… didn’t even need a bandaid;-)…

continued on my walk and collected a few Poke balls in the process…

this morning I got a text from a friend advising that the Pharmacy had the Covid vaccine as of this morning…

I called right away and was there inside of fifteen minutes and got the shot… apparently, the needle hit a blood vessel so there was some bleeding…

this time I got a bandage, lol…

currently my arm is a teeny bit sore, and I am tired but I am so pleased to have both vaccines taken care of;-)…

took two walks Tuesday, lol…

first one was my little circle tour… on the way home I had to walk partway down a different street to admire a very large Halloween display, across from a school…

the second was to go to Silver Heights IDA for my covid and flu shots… had to wait a few minutes while others were looked after, but then in a flash, it was done and I was on my way home…

this morning, early, I went across to the drugstore in Cityplace and finally got my flu shot…

I’ve been trying to get over ever since it was available… besides hopefully protecting me, it might save someone else who I come into contact with who might have a compromised immune system…

I always think of my dad when he was in hospital toward the end of his life… family and friends didn’t want to visit him if they had the sniffles… eventually we decided that if someone was going to make him sicker, it might as well be one of us, rather than a hospital staff person… it was more important to spend what little time we had with him…

only waited a short time for the shot and then had to wait the obligatory few minutes afterwards to be sure I wasn’t having any reaction…

so far I haven’t experienced any side effects…

guess we’ll see how it is in the morning;-)…

worked the early shift today so left the office at 3:30…

went across the street to the drugstore and got my flu shot… only took the time to fill out the form and after had to wait the mandatory ten minutes to be sure there were no reactions…

the pharmacist was telling me that they are doing about twenty shots a day since there are so few flu shot clinics this year… they consider giving the shots a community service as it takes administrative and human resources time as well as necessary supplies… what they are paid doesn’t cover those costs…

it is all very pretty though… good branding with all the signs, tablecloth, staff badges and even the bandaids a nice turquoise colour…

then I went and got my hair cut… had a new person and she did a fine job… didn’t have to wait there either…

pretty productive afternoon…
