LAWTON, Okla. (TNN) - Health Care officials administered the first COVID-19 vaccines in Comanche County Wednesday afternoon at Comanche County Memorial Hospital.
First in line was ICU nurse Laura Thomas, who said she chose to get vaccinated because of her elderly father.
“Actually the inspiration came from my father who lives in Ohio,” she said. “He’s 78-years-old. When I talked to him about the vaccine, he was very excited about it. He’s willing to step forward and take it as soon as he can, so I thought this was my way to honor him and try to help.”
