Yesterday (Monday) at the mall, I received my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The process took a little over an hour, very different from my District Health Department No. 4 registration experience that was reported in The News on Saturday.

That process on the Monday and Tuesday prior had me trying to get through their phone system of non-stop looping phone calls, which finally ended Tuesday afternoon at the DHD4 website’s newly posted registration form.

The mall experience was organized, efficient, and very customer friendly. I go back in February for my second vaccine.

I appreciate the work done by so many to get us this far and ask God to bless them and their work.
