She said that the first shot sat out 30 minutes too long. When we got to the office I asked her if my mom should get another first vaccination so close to the other one, she said Dr. (Name withheld) was on top of it. She said my mom shouldn't have any side effects. We never saw a doctor and no one told us how it was determined that my mom needed another shot. We were given vague answers. Before (Name withheld) gave mom the second first shot, she said that it had been out 10 minutes too long. We have tried to talk to the people involved at Dr. (Name withheld) office and (Workplace name withheld) staff to find out the reason for the second first shot and why it wasn't explained better to my mom before it was given.
