Ingles doing a great job here?The vidant hospital run vaccination center here is as well oiled and streamlined as you could ever hope for. My 2 stepsons got their shots yesterday and my wife said start to finish it was 21 minutes including the 15 minute obs period. I can only hope other centers are as smooth.
It's still pretty effective against the P1 variant.Glad I’m getting vaccinated soon. Seems like these vaccines are still effective against the P1 variant? I’ll be getting either Pfizer or Moderna.
