[Adapted from real experiences, protagonist: Jin Wanwan. It’s not the main text, so it’s done in one go without modification]

A certain city.

Three days ago, when Jin Wanwan returned to the rental house after dinner, he saw a notice at the door of the corridor: from 9 to 11 a.m., go to room 109 of the community to register with a dedicated person, and you can get the new crown vaccine for free...

There are also contacts and phone numbers on it.

Jin Wanwan didn't care, thinking that he could get vaccinated early or later, so there was no need to rush.

One day ago, I happened to check WeChat Moments and saw a message from my landlord: Starting from May 1st, people who have not been vaccinated will not be able to enter the village...

Jin Wanwan's hand shook and he almost dropped his phone to the ground.

It’s not okay to not be able to enter the village, because this is a “rigorous need”, so I decided to go to the community to register tomorrow and get vaccinated first.

Today, Jin Wanwan was dressed neatly and put on a mask. As usual, he picked up the mirror to check whether the mask was crooked... Then, Jin Wanwan discovered that he turned out to be so handsome!

This damn mask covers most of my face, eh, but I can’t do it without wearing it. It’s really annoying.

I went out and walked for more than ten minutes to the community office building at the entrance of the village. On the wall of the guard room was a notice with the Chinese character "dog crawling": Go to the west campus of the Development Zone Hospital to get vaccinated. Take bus 567 or 516 to the hospital (delimited). Drop off) get off the car at the door (without a period).

Jin Wanwan was a little confused.

Development Zone Hospital West Campus? What a complicated rush.

Then we have to take the bus, which is too much trouble!

Take what you've come to, and enter the community building. After searching for a long time, you find room 109. After entering, Jin Wanwan was stunned. There were so many desks, it was almost the size of a small company.

I successfully found a specialist, and under the kind guidance of the aunt, I filled out two forms, a community registration form and a vaccination registration form with two pieces of paper stapled together.

He is used to typing on the keyboard, but Jin Wanwan has not written in many years. His words are like a dog crawling... Hey, just now at the door, he was laughing at someone's writing as a dog crawling, but in the end, his words were also useless. How much better.

The community aunt was afraid that Jin Wanwan would take the wrong bus, so she wrote the "516" bus route on the front of the bus, which was very considerate.

Jin Wanwan was in high spirits and felt that registration was quite simple, so he immediately walked out of the community gate and walked towards the bus stop on the main road outside.

After walking about two hundred meters, I looked up and saw a huge signboard for "Development Zone Hospital", with metal fonts shining brightly under my eyes.

I go!

Is this it?

At that moment, Jin Wanwan held the vaccination registration form in one hand and his mobile phone in the other, looking at the huge sign on the road, looking so stupid...

"No, no." Jin Wanwan shook his head, "If the hospital is so close, why did the community staff remind me to take the bus?"

Immediately, Jin Wanwan remembered the notice at the door of the community. It was talking about the "Western Campus" of the Development Zone Hospital.

Looking at the huge signboard again, there is no word "XX Hospital District" written on it... It's not professional at all.

Jin Wanwan took out his mobile phone and opened Baidu Maps to search for keywords. The results showed two development zone hospitals, one nearby and the other four or five kilometers away.

What is depressing is that the Development Zone Hospital, which is four or five kilometers away, does not have the words "Western District Hospital" on Baidu Map.

Damn, this is so funny!

However, based on the clue of "community staff reminding people to take the bus", Jin Wanwan was able to figure out that the hospital where vaccinations can be given is the one four or five kilometers away.

Crossed the road, found the bus stop, and waited for about five or six minutes. Bus No. 516 arrived. After getting on the bus, Jin Wanwan kept looking at the navigation on his mobile phone to avoid missing the stop.

After a few stops, Jin Wanwan complained in his mind: "It's too slow. Sometimes I stop, sometimes I'm stuck in traffic, sometimes I wait for the red light..."

He looked at the time and saw that it was already past 10:10 in the morning. If he kept going like this, all the nurses in the hospital would be off work.

If you miss the morning, you have to wait until the afternoon, and the nurses go to work very late in the afternoon.

Jin Wanwan felt anxious when he thought that he had not started writing the novel today...

At this time, Jin Wanwan suddenly remembered, why didn't he think of hitting a DD just now?

Hey, I'm already in the car. Let's go and cherish it.

Fortunately, the traffic behind the bus was smooth, and we arrived at the gate of the development zone hospital around 10:30 in the morning.

After getting off the car, I heard a small speaker at the entrance of the hospital from a distance, repeatedly playing prompts such as "Do you need to show your health to get vaccinated?", "Turn left when entering the hospital" and so on.

Although he knew through simple reasoning that this was the place to get vaccinated, at this moment Jin Wanwan felt completely reassured that he had come to the right place.

Follow the prompts and turn left after entering the hospital. Within two steps, I saw an eye-catching slogan posted on the wall: COVID-19 Vaccination Area + Arrow.

Jin Wanwan walked over quickly and saw a shack built under the building. There were slogans on the wall and a bright red sickle and hammer flag that read "Party Member Commando".

Jin Wanwan cheered up and walked into the shack. There was a very faint smell of medicine floating in the air.

Looking around again, I saw a row of staff sitting against the wall on the left side of the spacious shed, with a sign saying "Form Stamping".

There is also a row of staff sitting on the right. They have more equipment, including computers, printers, and machines for identifying ID cards. There is a sign saying "Register."

There is a large open space in the middle. Apart from Jin Wanwan, there are only three or two people there. The staff are quite idle.

"There aren't many people!" Jin Wanwan thought to himself.

Instead of rushing to stamp and register, he looked around the spacious shack.

It is conceivable that this shack should have been built more than a year ago, when the situation was most critical.

I think at that time, this house was probably not as peaceful and peaceful as it is now...

Because there were only a few people, Jin Wanwan completed the stamping and registration operations quickly. When stamping, the staff asked questions such as whether there was any past medical history; when registering, the staff confirmed the name, contact number, etc.

Then follow the prompts and enter the vaccination hall. The nurses here are also very busy. When Jin Wanwan came, he was the only one.

However, in addition to the vaccination area, there are also many metal hollow iron chairs placed in the hall. At least two to three hundred people can sit on them to rest and chat, just like the waiting area of ​​a train station.

At that time, Jin Wanwan didn't know what these people were doing sitting there. While he was stunned, a young lady in a white coat called him to the nearest vaccination site... Jin Wanwan secretly cursed himself, he must have been stupid again just now.

The nurse confirmed the name and ID card, took out a syringe that was a little thinner than her little finger, and then asked Jin Baiwai to lift up his sleeves to expose his arm near his shoulder.

"It turns out they were hit here..." Jin Wanwan thought to himself.

The nurse moved skillfully and inserted a needle into Jin Wanwan's arm. Surprisingly, Jin Wanwan didn't feel any pain, not even the feeling of "being bitten by an ant".

The nurse slowly pushed the syringe and at the same time warned: "Avoid tobacco, alcohol, spicy food, drink less coffee and more water, and pay attention to rest."

"Can't you drink coffee?" Jin Wanwan was surprised, because when he was writing, he liked to drink a cup of coffee, Maxwell's 100-pack three-in-one instant coffee.

The nurse smiled but didn't reply, and then warned: "Remember to come on time for the second injection."

"When will the injection be given?" Jin Wanwan muttered in his mind: "A second injection is needed?"

"Twenty-eight days later." The nurse said as she took out the syringe and pressed the wound with a cotton swab.

Jin Wanwan held the vaccination registration form in one hand and pressed the cotton swab in the other. He walked stupidly around the rest area where two to three hundred people were sitting for a while. He didn't know what these people were doing sitting here.

Later, I met the young lady in the white coat and reminded me: "After the beating, just sit down and observe."

"How long will the observation last?"

"Half an hour."

Only then did Jin Wanwan understand what these people were doing sitting here.

He found a seat and sat down, and then he had time to look at the registration form in detail.

I found that information such as "Observe for half an hour after vaccination before leaving", "Take the second shot after four weeks", etc., have been printed on it...

Jin Wanwan was so embarrassed. It must have been funny when he thought of how he had asked stupidly just now.

However, as long as he was not embarrassed, others would be embarrassed. Jin Wanwan straightened his back immediately, pretended that everything was normal, and sat in the rest area using the "Writer's Assistant" APP.

Why haven't you added more to your collection?

Why didn't anyone vote?

Come on, big brother, please comment!



Half an hour later.

Jin Wanwan left the hospital and stood on the sidewalk on the side of the road. He hesitated for a moment, should he take a DD back? Or take the public car back?

Hey, Jin Wanwan touched the flat wallet lying quietly in his jeans and decided to be a bus.

After waiting at the bus stop for a few minutes, the 516 bus came. I got on the bus and swiped the NFC simulated bus card on my phone... Huh? Why was 33 yuan deducted this time?

There were not many people on the bus, so Jin Wanwan found a seat by the window and sat down. He took out his phone and checked the "Wallet" APP, which simulated the consumption of bus cards.

Sure enough, it was 2 yuan when I came...

Damn, what a confusing charging standard!

As time passed, four or five more stops were reached.

But at this moment, something thrilling happened.

Jin Wanwan was sitting in his seat, admiring the scenery outside the car. Suddenly, he felt something wrong with his stomach, and it seemed that he... wanted to go to the toilet.

"I'm going, just be patient, I'll be there soon..."

But about a minute later, Jin Wanwan suddenly felt that his whole body was getting colder and colder, especially his forehead. He touched it and said, "Oh, I'm sweating!"

At the same time, Jin Wanwan felt uncomfortable. He couldn't describe the feeling, but it was obvious that something was wrong.

"Is there something wrong with the vaccine, or am I not suitable for vaccination? Is there an adverse reaction?" Jin Wanwan was worried. He was already breaking out in a cold sweat, but now he was even more violent.

During the vaccination, the nurse said that he needed to be observed for half an hour. In fact, Jin Wanwan had been in the rest area for more than forty minutes. If there were any adverse reactions, they should have appeared long ago. Why did they appear at this time?

Jin Wanwan was afraid.

What he had seen and heard over the past year or so flashed through his mind. Could it be that...a year after the vaccine was developed, he was unfortunately infected?

My heart beat hard.

Immediately, he remembered that today is different from the past. Even if he was tricked, it would not be a big problem.

However, it is always troublesome, because then he can't do anything else, and the novel that has just started will be discontinued...

Just at this time, the bus stopped at a stop, and Jin Wanwan almost got off the bus. Then he took another look and planned to call 120 if he continued to feel uncomfortable.

At this time, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Jin Wanwan's mind.

Is it possible that the current symptoms are caused by... motion sickness?

Jin Wanwan thought the possibility was very high, so he decided not to get out of the car for the time being and try to adjust it first to see if the situation would improve.

Even if something happens in the car, aren't there still the driver and the surrounding passengers?

Jin Wanwan always suffered from motion sickness when taking the bus. As the saying goes, a long illness makes a good doctor, so he figured out a few tricks to deal with motion sickness.

The first of them is to put on headphones and listen to music.

This one can be passed because he didn't wear headphones.

Then there are only the last two combination punches left——

Use your small arms to press your lower abdomen. At the same time, adjust your sitting posture and breathe deeply. The breath is long and deep, so that the whole lungs can feel the coolness brought by the inhaled air.

breathe--

breathe--

breathe--

Huh?

After taking several deep breaths, the uncomfortable situation gradually improved.

Continue to take deep breaths, and after a minute or two, the uncomfortable situation will completely disappear.

I go!

I really felt motion sick just now!



When the bus arrived, I got off the bus and found a place to eat.

When we came out after dinner, it was already around 12:00 in the morning.

One morning passed like this...
