I was discussing the first jab with the pharmacist when I had my eighth on Monday. In our local (French) town it took place in an ancient cider press, so the building was very long and thin. We first had our names and medical cards checked, then moved up the building to have an interview with a doctor to check for contra-indications and concerns, then up again for a nurse to check us, then a different nurse for the actual injection, then a 15 minute wait at the end of the building before we could leave. The whole process was repeated a month later for the second injection. Very French! Now we just nip into the pharmacy for a quick jab and out again every six months.
