So to actually see this potentially lifesaving mixture — tiny vials which could prove vital in stopping this pandemic — being prepared for injection was surreal. In the lead-up to the first day of vaccinations, I asked clinics across the country for access, only to hit brick walls.

In a separate room, a pharmacist prepared the vaccines and loaded them into syringes to be used by the nurses. It was over in seconds — an experience he likened to getting a flu shot.
