Vaccination

 


Photograph showing what I got from vaccination centre yesterday

My left arm hurts today.  Last night, it hurts as I was sleeping.  Yesterday I had my Moderna covid-19 vaccination at Woodlands Community Club.  I had booked for 4pm appointment.  I arrived there at 3.54pm and there was no queue.  Just one person in front of me.  

They checked my message and IC then I was allowed to go into the vaccination centre.  Upon entry, they passed me a bottle of water and a green booklet as shown in the picture above.  There were four stations: registration, vaccination, observation and discharge stations.  At registration they will ask me about my medical stuff and after that, I went straight for vaccination.  

It was a long time since my last vaccination or injection.  It's more than 30 years since I had any injection!  Before injection, they showed me how to manage the side effects first (as shown in the green booklet).  I was scared, and did not look at the injection.  At the point of injection, I felt pain, stinking pain and after a while it was done, in seconds.  

After that I was told to sit at the observation station for 30minutes.  If I needed help, I just had to raise my hands.  I was allowed to go toilet too.  So I sat there for 30minutes.  When the time was up, I was called to the discharge stations.  I passed them the sticker and they gave me a piece of paper for next appointment next month.  Then they passed me a bag containing mask and hand sanitizer. 

It was raining when I went vaccination.  After the vaccination, it was still raining.  Back at home, I opened up the box of mask and I like the mask.  They were very soft and comfortable to put on.  My mother had her vaccination at Hong Kah North Community Club, and they did not have any gifts.
