Got my first vaccine shot today; no pain and little hassle.
What did I learn?
Friendly "Team" members led thousands of us through Moscone Center in downtown San Francisco. All the directions were clear and correct; the team had obviously thought through the logistics thoroughly, while keeping us 6 feet apart and making provision for seating during the required 15 minutes post shot, awaiting any bad reactions. (Didn't have any reaction myself nor did anyone in the cavernous hall while we were there.)
It all made me think of the many jurisdictions which can't seem to run their elections without confusion and hours-long lines outside the polling places. This even happens in Las Vegas where the state government is committed to running accessible elections. There's a lot to be learned from this vaccination process. Most likely elections departments need more funding for more "Team" workers.
Oh yes, also, this site was run by Kaiser Permanente, although open to anyone, regardless of Kaiser membership or lack thereof. Kaiser gives all of us flu shots every fall. They know how to do mass inoculations. Glad the state has given the system this responsibility.

Our Republican Gov. doesn't seem to get along with the local Democratic Mayor and County Judge who have been doing a fine job if they can get the vaccine.
