Symptom narrative

Went to pharmacy to get Covid vaccine. Tech had excessively long fingernails and no gloves. Probably impossible to wear. I know artificial nails harbor bacteria and make it hard to wash hands successfully. It was difficult for her to write on my form. I received the vaccine but worried later.
