These Kent women wanted Covid vaccines but leaving home was too hard

Connie Palmer, 84, lives at a housing development in Kent, where she is usually confined to her bed.
On Monday, May 24, Palmer got her second dose of the Covid vaccine. She moved to a chair in the living room for the shot, which was difficult for her.
Palmer’s husband of almost 55 years, Steve, is her caregiver. He said he got his vaccine doses back in February and March, but he couldn’t get Connie to a vaccine clinic, “because it’s so hard for her to get out.”
