We went yesterday afternoon. Couldn’t have been run more smoothly and everyone we encountered was kind and helpful. If you arrived BEFORE YOUR APPT TIME, you probably waited longer. We were sent in at our appt time but arrived earlier, not knowing what to expect. They could not have had more people working. They had approximately 10-12 vaccine stations with 2 Nurses at each station. Yes, they check you in to make sure you are the person you claim to be. Very glad they do that, as some showed up and tried to get in without an appt.
For those unable to use a computer, call the health dept: COVID-19 Call Center is available 24/7 | +1 (866) 779-6121. We had done that first and they called the day before we had already obtained an appointment online through Ascension Sacred Heart.
We received our first part of the vaccine this afternoon. Everything went very smoothly. We felt that it was well organized with no wait time. Thanks Ascension!
Too many people are wanting the vaccine yet can’t make appointments. How about creating a waiting list, especially for those seniors who don’t have internet access?
Yes the line was long, but I see no way around it. We had to furnish our ID and go through screening. The only way it could have been shorter was for them to have more people working. I appreciate them keeping us old folks that came in together, together.
got mine, felt nothing. thanks governor. going back on the 30th. the wait in line was long. over an hour.
