I qualified earlier because I'm nearly 80. On January 22nd, I called my family doctor's office, and the nurse set up an appointment for me for the next day, at a downtown clinic. I was offered several time slots, and chose the one that was most convenient for me. Almost immediately after ending that call, I received an email from the State Health Department, asking several demographic and health questions, and my appointment was confirmed. Really easy and quick.

On the evening of Jan 23rd, I arrived on time. There was a wait of less than five minutes, and they checked me in at the computer. I was escorted to an office, received my first injection of the Pfizer vaccine, stayed in the "recovery" area for 15 minutes to make sure I had no negative reactions, and left. I think the entire event took less than a half hour. People were arriving and leaving comfortably with virtually no waiting time.

Then yesterday evening, I received my second injection, again with the same ease. Indiana has this process down to a pretty fine art. I don’t like many things about this state, but they do know how to organize Covid vaccine injections. Got my little CDC Card to prove it!
