Indiana National Guard soldiers and airmen lined up, one after another, to get shots that could protect them from COVID-19.
For months now, they’ve been on the frontlines essentially, helping in the fight against the ongoing coronavirus pandemic per Gov. Eric Holcomb’s orders. On Wednesday, they received the first COVID-19 vaccines to be distributed in Johnson County.
Troops from around the state reported to the Johnson County National Guard Armory in Franklin to take some of the first Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines apportioned to state military personnel in the country.
