MADISON, Wis. – After a busy day, 565 people got a COVID-19 vaccine shot at Thursday’s News 3 Now Vaccine events.
A total of 304 doses were administered the News 3 Now station, with at least 210 going to kids 12 to 15 years old. At William G. Lunney Lake Farm County Park, 261 doses were given. Although the final tally is still being calculated, many of the people who received a vaccine there were also in the 12 to 15 age range.
“We heard it this morning, so we decided you know what, right after school today we’re going to run out here and get it done and get moving on with life,” Brian Leslie said. “This will be a summer of change.”
