They made sure I got to a nurse who knew how to deal with trypanophobics & I was jabbed within 20 mins. With the Xanax, EMLA, & disassociation techniques, I barely noticed. I did get body spasms in the recovery area so they moved me to a trolley in a private area for observation. I think I was there about half an hour. I must commend the staff who were really so helpful & made the experience as stress-free as possible. Back in 4 weeks I guess.

Just posting by way of reference for others - I'm in no rush as imagine there are others in greater need for various reasons so happy to let fate take care of things...

Credit to all involved, it runs like clockwork. We're very quick to kick ourselves and indeed our public services but what I was today was a well oiled machine. Right down to the person cleaning the chairs after people waited for 15 mins.

Btw is parking free in UCD for Covid as anytime I've been over there on campus it was quite expensive to park up there

(From this thread it's clear there are still lots of 1978s still waiting for appointments too.) I haven't heard of any confirmed appointments there past Thursday so would be curious to know if anyone's gotten an appointment for the weekend? I'm 1979 myself so hoping to get one soon.
