Sunshine, I must not have explained this very well. On June 30 I took the paratransit van service that I usually use to a hospital complex that is only about 10 minutes away and got the J&J vaccine. My son had offered to take me for the vaccine but I kept looking and never was able to find a place that gave the J&J vaccine and wasn't a place where there might be long waits, inaccessible bathrooms, etc.
Finally this one opened up, and I've been to other buildings in that complex and so had a good idea what I was in for when there. I called the hospital pharmacy about getting the vaccine when I received an e-mail from them letting me know that this was possible. They told me when the least busy times were (11 to 4) and that worked well for me. I waited only about 45 minutes for the shot.
I really didn't want my son to have to use his time and energy just taking me for a vaccine, possibly twice. He is completely overloaded as it is.
So if I've made things more difficult than they needed to be for myself, it was entirely my choice. I had other options, to be sure.
Looks as if J&J is less effective than the other two but I'm continuing to wear a mask every time I'm going to encounter people. And washing my hands diligently and disinfecting surfaces.
