Got Pfizer dose 1: total in-out time, 25 minutes

Joined provider wait-list within an hour of group eligibility

Allowed to schedule appointment less than 48 hours later

Appointment was about 5 days after joining waitlist

Walk-in screening, wait for check-in, check-in, vaccination with stern warning to contact doctor if adverse symptoms, brief observation for immediate allergic reaction (not being at high risk), scheduled appointment for Pfizer dose 2 in 3 weeks: total 25 minutes

It's great having a Democratic governor here in NC!

I got my first vaccination back on Jan 16 at a ball park where 6000 other people were vaccinated. My second vaccination was at the same park but only took 20 to 30 minutes.
