Mike and I went to PNC Arena in Raleigh to get our first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. They have set up a drive-thru vaccination site in the huge parking lot outside the arena, and I thought it was very well organized. We stayed in the car the whole time and there was very little contact with others. We made our appointments online, printed out the barcode they emailed us, and they scanned it in. It looked like the National Guard was helping.
They had several lanes to check people in:
Then we drove to another part of the parking lot to actually get the shot. We had to wait for an hour in the car until it was our turn:
We stuck our arms out of the car window to get the shots:
Then we got a neat sticker:
Then, we sat in another parking lot for 15 minutes, with EMTs nearby to make sure we didn't have an immediate reaction:
They immediately sent us an email with a link to set up the appointment for the second dose. So, we made the appointment for May 7, three weeks from today. It was easy!
