I pull into the parking lot of the health center. I’m 10 minutes early. Do I go in now? My appointment isn’t until eight, maybe I should wait a little bit. No, let’s just get this over with. I don my mask, grab my purse and open the door to get out of my car.

Why am I so nervous? I get the flu shot every year, this is no different, I tell myself.
