The Vaccinator and other stories
Feb. 25, 2021 at 6:00 am
I’m sitting in a plastic chair at Station 1 in Santa Monica Family Physicians on 9th and Wilshire. Rosie is the Vaccinator. Ten minutes earlier than my actual appointment (!) she sticks me quickly in the left arm. A poke in my left because I tell her I pitch from the right side, “I’m a righty.” Lightens the mood in a serious conference room where nurses marker their names on a wall chart tracking shifts. Note to fellow squeamish Santa Monicans: NPR goes on about, “getting vaccines into arms.” A frightening visual, right? But its gentler than a CVS pharmacist’s flu shot. Because of thin needles: another modern medicine marvel!
