NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- As the sun peeks through the clouds on an early spring day, Mary Wade Home resident Marilyn Degnan reflects on the previous year and the shot of hope she felt hearing that the Connecticut National Guard was headed her way with the COVID-19 vaccine.
“All I have are my two sons and five granddaughters,” said Degnan. “Just to be able to see them is going to mean the world to me.”
The Connecticut National Guard helped provide COVID-19 vaccines to nursing home residents like Degnan in support of a Connecticut Department of Public Health effort titled “Operation Matchmaker.”
