December 8. The booster had none of the rigorous efficiency of the National Guard. Pharmacy in Harlem. Filling out forms with data that is already in the computer. Sitting around waiting. Being bashfully led into an adjoining room by a staff member, a plastic box of vaccination utensils in his hand. I sit down, he bends down, while standing, to vaccinate. Covid and flu at the same time.
