JESSUP, Pa. — It was a busy morning at Three Saints Barber Shop in Jessup. People were coming in and out all day long—not with a new haircut or a fresh shave, but rather with some new genetic material inside their bodies.
The barbershop swapped out razors for needles and hosted its own vaccine clinic with the help of Rite Aid pharmacists.
Owner Mike McAndrew had been hearing from customers for weeks about how hard it was to find an appointment.
