My first dose of Pfizer Coronavirus vaccine The process of inoculation started a week ago when the Saudi Ministry of Health urged residents and citizens to register themselves on the new application, Sehhaty for vaccination against COVID-19 Photo courtesy: Abilad Engagement: 0 And the lab technician jabbed the needle in my arm. In one small moment all my fears, apprehensions, and doubts waned away. I waited for my face to twitch for temporary paralysis, or faint but nothing happened. I was convinced haziness or a dizzy spell would follow shortly but that did not happen either. I was asked to wait for 15 minutes in a waiting lounge where already more than 200 inoculated persons were waiting for something to happen. Those fifteen minutes certainly felt equal to 24 hours. It seemed like the clock was taking sadistic pleasure in delaying every tick. My 15-minute wait eventually came to an end, and I was the conqueror, not only I but every other person coming out of the COVID-19 Vaccine Center at Dhahran Expo was a winner, we had just taken one bold step in our fight against COVID-19.
