We are doing very fine ...... thanks .............
just got lucky to be part of the priority group to which i got the 1st dose of vaccine already in QNCC...& i think the security should applied some strict measures/rules in allowing people to enter the vaccination area as a lot of people who doesn't have an appointment are in the queue and majority of the crowd doesn't follow social distancing anymore...
