Second shot for my 90 year old parents. We only had to sit in line for the drive thru for 4 hours to get it.

I swear Dallas County could **** up a wet dream.

my Mom got her first shot in Brenham. She said they barely ever stopped their vehicle during the entire process - except to get the actual shot. She raved about how well it was organized.
What do you boys want for breakfast BBQ ?.....OK Chili.

2nd shots were no appointment and drive through only. There was only one tent at Fair Park for all the drive thru.

Got my first shot at UTSW vax clinic at Dallas Market Hall. Had a 9:00 appointment. Hit the door about 8:58, had a needle in my arm at 9:05, waited 15 minutes and pulled out of the parking lot about 9:28. Yes, Dallas County is a $***hole operation. I am very fortunate.

Denton County has been the model for mass vaccinations. I think I heard it was an average wait time of around 20 minutes or so. Really, really well done, IMHO.

Got my first at Kay Bailey convention center. Stayed in my car the whole time. In and out in an hour including the 30 minutes they made me wait after the shot. Moderna there.

I have relatives and friends that drove to Washington County to get the vaccine. They raved about the efficiency and professionalism. Someone needs to take a look at what they are doing.

Collin County at 3:30 yesterday for first shot. Took over 2 hours. Not a big deal to me. Everyone was awesome and I think the long wait time is more about the amount of people signing up for that time slot since that is better for a lot of people work wise. I know I did it late so I could get a full work day in.

I say if you don't want to wait long, go earlier or mid day.

Also, they set my 2nd dose appt right there with me so atn least in Collin, the 2nd dose is scheduled. Not sure with Dallas Cnty doesn't but it is what it is...

We had to read a book called The Goal in a grad school class on operational optimization. They talked about the "Herbies" which were machines with the lowest throughput that slowed down the productivity of other more efficient production nodes down the line.

I have been wondering just what the herbies are in this process. It can't be the actual vaccination. From what everyone says, that takes a short period of time. This seems like an incredibly simple process. You check in, you wait in line, you get the shot, you leave.

There are now 13 drive through lanes. How do you mess this up? Seems like you need a consultant just mapping this thing for a single day and shining a spotlight on whatever bored, crabby county employee is slowing everything down.

I got my second shot yesterday at the drive thru that Harris County is running. Only took 5 minutes. No line at all. It was well organized.

Yes. My only experience with it so far so I don't know if it would be faster at other times but it I just figured that the latest slot would be the busiest. I hope your's is faster. It still wasn't bad as I had my phone, a heated car etc. Just don't drink a bunch of liquids as I couldn't imagine having the pee during that lol. I purposely didn't drink much all day just in case. I've got a small bladder.
