On a medical topic, kudos to everyone working at the Burlington County COVID-19 vaccine mega-site at Moorestown Mall last evening. I got my first dose of vaccine. Was in and out in 30 minutes (15 minutes of that was waiting in observation area). Friendly, professional people.

Some tips and tricks if you are going to this location. First, before going, view this six minute video on this website about the Burlington County location. The video is pretty much exactly what will happen (just a lot more people around). https://www.virtua.org/services/mega-site-faqs

If you get an appointment, and can do the eCheck-in option via the Virtua MyChart website/app, do it. Things go quickly when you are there when you say you did the eCheck-in.

Make sure to sign up for text messaging, and make sure to have the MyChart website/app on your phone and are able to log in, because while you are in the observation area for 15 minutes, you will get a text saying it is time to schedule your second vaccine. Easy, peasy.

If something doesn't work right, there is a desk there to help schedule your second appointment, but the workers clearly thought it was way cooler if you were able to do it yourself while killing time in the observation area. And they were right.
