HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - As part of a new state program, pharmacists and nurses are going directly to small residential care and foster homes to vaccinate fragile and isolated kupuna.
Among those who got the shot Wednesday: 82-year-old Patricia Souza, who lives in an Ewa Beach foster home. “I was lucky that I got to do it,” she said.
“I’m hoping that it gives me a lot of power.”
