When I became eligible for a vaccine, my wife firmly planted her foot in my butt about getting vaccinated. I made several phone calls, scoured the internet trying to find out how I could weasel a shot in the near future.
I met a few of the requirements for an early vaccination and finally I did get a message on my Centracare MyChart. So, last week I was able to schedule an appointment for this past Monday. Very easy!
So, Monday, I show up 45 minutes early for my appointment at Centracare Southpoint. I was figuring it would be total chaos and I wanted to make sure I was on time, as to not miss out. When I found out they would be giving me the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, I was thrilled. One and done.
