Happy chatter filled the lobby of Medicap Pharmacy in Eldora on Wednesday afternoon as Hardin County's first doses of COVID-19 vaccine were injected into frontline workersâ arms.
The scene is a familiar one by now â a rolled sleeve, a poised needle, squinted eyes that hint at smiles behind face masks. Itâs a light in the tunnel. A glimmer of hope at the end of a long and difficult year.
Almost nine months to the day after Hardin County Public Health reported the first local COVID-19 case, vaccinations have begun. Hardin County Public Health is working with Medicap Pharmacy in Eldora to distribute the vaccine to health care workers, who are first in line to get the shot.
