Were seen within a minute of parking and were vaccinated in the car. Everything explained clearly and vaccination cards issued by incredibly helpful and pleasant medical staff. We were told to sit in the car for 15 more minutes to make sure there was no adverse reaction and were then directed out. All took about 20 minutes from start to finish. We actually left at about the time Mrs CT's appointment was scheduled.
Ours was the Moderna vaccine and we return in 28 days for the second shot. They email to fix the second appointment.
Everything really well organised and stress free. There was a full emergency service on hand in case of an adverse reaction. I'm feeling fine and so is Mrs CT - though she had burning pain initially.
Clearly we've been very fortunate so far - certainly compared with some of the horror stories we've seen on the news here: being dicked around to find an appointment, five hour waits, cancellations etc.
