We previously registered online at UT Health RGV. It is the Medical College in Edinburg TX. I think it was early January when we registered and Monday we received notice that we could get the vaccine. So I went online and followed the directions for both of us and made appointments for today 2/9/21. A contact called us last night and helped me finish up the details of it all including online check-in. So this morning we headed to the college in Edinburg, an 11-mile trip, and foggy conditions but it all went smoothly. While on the phone with them last night we also made an appointment for the second dose on March 2nd in the same place. I never dreamed the process would go that smoothly. Our appointment was for 8:30 but if you are there and ready, in you go! We did not wait for even a minute and we were back home a little after 9. We did have to wait for 15 minutes to rule out a reaction. We were each given a folder with our beginning time on it and shown to a waiting area with chairs 6 feet apart and a big clock on the wall. When the time was up we checked with the woman at the door and she gave us a card saying we had the first dose and the appointment time for our second dose. I was greatly impressed with their efficiency.
So we are on our way to being fully vaccinated. I feel it is the first step to getting back to some degree of normalcy. We will continue masks, distance, and handwashing until we feel it is safe to relax a bit. In case you wonder it is the Pfizer vaccine we were given.
