Kaiser vaccine clinic. Just like standing in an airport line

The Kaiser San Francisco French Campus Vaccine Clinic

Going for the annual flu shot at the neighborhood Kaiser French Campus is akin to standing in the airport security line.

On the blogger’s first attempt earlier in the week mid morning the line stretched through the corridor. Thinking it would be better to go mid afternoon I deferred and came back a day later.

If anything the afternoon queue was longer. I steeled myself and 40 minutes later was fully vaccinated and good to go for another year.

Following is a photo collage of my in line waiting experience.

Hurry up and wait as the old saying goes

Thankfully, the wait is nearly over
