All vaccinated

Vaccination just opened for kids 5-11. Getting an appointment was smooth via MySejahtera.  The only venue carrying Pfizer(kids) near my place was a community hall which had plenty of slots.  However since it wasn't a shopping mall nor clinic... no air-con haha.  And there were many, many people.

My fear was SE would bolt at some point of the process!  This was the kid who came back from school one day and told me (pardon me if repeating, might have told this before in my blog hehe):

SE: Today got injections at school. Some people ran away and teachers had to chase them
Me: Oh.  Then... *mother's instinct*  Were you one of them?
SE: Yes

SE: Then, some people, the teacher had to hold them down for injection

Me: *faster now*  Were you one of them?

SE: Yes

But I assume she wouldn't have anywhere to run in an unfamiliar place.  And hubby couldn't come along.

So last week, I followed Waze through some narrow kampung roads and found the PPV without problems.

Waiting

There were pauses in the queue.  When we got nearer the front, realised that was because they were using batches of vaccines brought in a thermo chest.  Once a batch was used up, someone would take that chest and go for more.  Also, there were only two stations for the whole hall.

   

Almost there

Finally, after an hour of sweating, it was our turn.  A kid dose is 200ml vs the adult one of 300ml.

JE first

Poking.... done

Then it was SE's turn.

Bit scared. Hold Jojo

Poking... still holding Jojo

All right, all done!  The kids had sore arms until the next day but were otherwise fine.  Now to wait two months for the follow up dose.
