First, the place was packed. Nearly every teacher & school employee was there for either the first or second shot. (We were all supposed to get vaxxed in early February, but the county ran out. So some of us are on injection #1.). County population is around 105,000.
It was run almost exclusively by Army folks, except the actual shot giving which was being done by nurses from the local hospital.
Very well organized, highly staffed, & smooth.
There were about 20 people in line when I got there. I was out in under 45 minutes, including the "observation time" of 15 minutes.
They sent me a text with a link to register for & schedule the 2nd dose.
