I took the first step this week toward feeling more confident in an eventual return to whatever “normal” is going to look like. I got my first COVID-19 vaccine shot, and an appointment for my second in a few weeks.
From the beginning, getting my place in line — filling out an online form way before shots were actually approved for my age group; to the end, when a guy in a yellow rain suit waved at me as I left the parking lot, the experience included only one, quickly remedied hiccup.
Shortly after the date on which Gov. Mike DeWine approved my age group for shots, I received an email from the Washington County Health Department, which gave me the chance to sign up for an appointment. I chose a spot at the Elizabeth Sugden Broughton Community Building.
