  Dan Romik recently considered the Taylor coefficients of the Jacobi theta
function around the complex multiplication point $i$. He then conjectured that
the Taylor coefficients $d(n)$ either vanish or are periodic modulo any prime
${p}$; this was proved by the combined efforts of Scherer and
Guerzhoy-Mertens-Rolen, who considered arbitrary half integral weight modular
forms. We refine previous work for $p \equiv 1 \pmod{4}$ by displaying a
concise algebraic relation between $d\left( n+ \frac{p-1}{2} \right)$ and
$d(n)$ related to the $p$-adic factorial, from which we can deduce periodicity
with an effective period.
