Ten minutes later, while I was in the shower, I heard my phone ringing, so I grabbed a towel and ran out for it. I arrived at the vaccination centre and got in a long queue outside the building. I assumed that, like me, they were enthusiastic to get this jab, more so than any other jab in their lives.
