On 1/7/21 I received my first COVID-19 vaccine .The entire procedure was extremely simple ,from logging onto my ochsner portal selecting a date and site available. Once in th parking lot I was alerted on my phone to enter th building and proceed thru th face identification/tenp check .The pathway toward th vaccination area was plainly marked with safety precautions observed. I received information on th vaccine and a vaccine registration card. My follow up second vaccination time was scheduled.The staff was knowledgeable, curteous and caring making th entire experience safe and efficient..my thanks to. All of th ochsner staff .....JB
