RAF253: I Got My First COVID Vaccine

Today I got my first COVID vaccine shot. It was the Moderna vaccine. Two shots are required one month apart. I got my first one today (March 23, 2021), and my next one will be on April 20. I’ll let you know how that one goes as well. I went to Springdale Community Clinic, which is a ministry of St. Francis House in Northwest Arkansas. It’s the first time I’ve been there, but I believe it is a clinic for anyone, whether you have insurance or not. I heard about it from someone at work, who gave me a phone number. I texted VACCINE to that number. Later they called me back. They asked what my qualifying characteristic was. In my state, we are in Phase Ic, including IT workers, of which I am one. It also includes people in the food production industry, which is the industry of the company I work for.

When I got to the clinic, I had to answer a few questions and sign a consent form. Then I sat down to wait to get the shot. They gave me a five-page fact sheet published by Moderna. You can get it here:
