Excitement and a sense of history in the making – those emotions were evident as employees at Memorial Hospital in Conway participated in receiving the first round of COVID-19 vaccines on Thursday morning.
Mary Jane Elwell, a licensed nursing assistant in the hospital’s medical surgical unit who is in her 70s, was the first to get the vaccine.
“I had texted my daughter when I was in the car and I haven’t seen her since last Christmas because of all this,” she said, the words catching in her throat.
