There s a buzz around the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center, where for most of the workweek, thousands of citizens are getting vaccinated for COVID-19.
It s fun to watch and eavesdrop as people walk back to their vehicles. These members of our community, no doubt, have thought about the vaccine for close to a year. They ve read and watched newscasts about the vaccines, talked to their friends and family about it, and thought about life after getting the vaccine.
Afterwards, people like to talk to each other about it. I feel OK, one lady said to another on Tuesday afternoon. That wasn t too bad, another person said.
