The nurse mentioned to me that I might get a reaction on my 2nd dose, and that they would keep a close eye on me, and they can deal with it quickly and carry on at a lower rate. They sat me close to the Nurses Station for the first dose, and my nurse pretty much stayed beside me for the first 15 minutes or so, and to let them know immediately if I felt anything unusual at all. Enjoy the veggie patch!
