sigh, saw a story this AM on sfgate.com saying that California told Sutter to go ahead and use their reserved 2nd shots for more 1st shots, and the state woudl get them more, only the state doesn't HAVE any more to give them, so some 90,000 2nd shot appointments may get cancelled. that may include mine, grrrrrr.
and the day before my appointment for my seccond shot, they called off the delay, and I had my 2nd appointment on time.
got to the Sutter SF Covid facility (a big empty newer warehouse building), and unlike the first time, I had to park quite a ways, and there was quite a line on the sidewalk, monitored by security folks. a couple went up the line asking when our appointments were, mine was in 15 mins, so I and a few others were bumped way up in line, so I was in and out of there in 25 minutes or so, including the 15 minutes waiting for the rare severe reactions. site was very well staffed, and being run very efficiently. various line monitors holding us at choke points, then waving us on, then a pre-check desk with two stations where they took my temp via a IR thermometer to the forehead, asked the usual questions, sent me to the 'red' line, which was quite short, one of 20 desks with an operator and a computer terminal, I showed my ID and appointment card, thanked, checked in, and sent to yellow line, also quite short, then directed to one of about 30 vaccination stations, each with a chair at the end of a table, a clerk(?) sitting at a laptop, and a EMT actually giving the shot. showed my ID and card to laptop clerk, emt prepped the site, gave me the poke, put a bandaid on it, and clerk filled in the 2nd shot specifics, and sent me to the exit observation area with a 2:10 exit time (my original appointment was 1:45)
arm felt sore the next day or two, much like I'd had been hit with a noogie knuckle a few days prior, maybe a little harder than the first shot.
all is good.
