Flu Shots

My entire day was taken up trying to get a flu shot. The flu shot clinic was supposed to start at 10 AM. I decided to get there early because I didn’t want to spend the entire day in line. When I got there at 9:25 I got a number, 63! It was then that they told me that they were only giving out 100 shots!!! Soon all the tickets were gone and the store was full with people waiting for their shots.
The nurses didn’t arrive, and didn’t arrive and at 10:20 a woman called to find out where the nurses were to give the shots. Oh, they were lost! But would be there soon. Then we waited and again someone called and now the Supervisor of the program said she would come and bring the supplies herself, but it would take an hour, so we all waited some more.
I was with a group of women, old and young, and we talked and talked and we all got tired of all the waiting. But it was nice to talk to these women.
Still we waited and no one came to do the shots. I nearly left, but by this time I had waited so long I hated to leave without the shot! So I waited and waited and finally after waiting three and 1/2 hours the nurses came .
They were not terribly nice, and as I was back a ways in the line I was watching and noticed that they weren’t using gloves!!! That freaked me out and I stood there thinking maybe I should just walk out and not get the stupid shot. I spoke to the woman next to me and we decided to demand they wear gloves when they did our shots. We got a rather sharp look, but they put on the gloves and gave us the shots.
Never have I had to pay $25.00 for such a long and terrible time!!!
