HALIFAX --
On a day when Nova Scotians over 80 years old are getting the COVID-19 vaccine, others are still waiting to get their appointments.
98-year-old Mildred Carmichael got her shot at the IWK clinic Monday afternoon.
"We really feel like it was divine intervention. Someone was looking after us to have this happen today," Sandra Barry said, Carmichael's daughter.
Barry and her brother spent more than four hours last Monday to register their mother for an appointment. It took fewer than 30 minutes for her to be dropped off, taken to the clinic and back to the car.
"I feel A-1," Carmichael said afterward. "Just listen to your caregivers and go."
