Northport Mayor Bobby Herndon was on hand Friday morning at the Alabama State Fire College as a temporary drive-through clinic kicked off with the expectation of vaccinating 2,000 people through the weekend in Tuscaloosa.
Herndon and his wife both survived bouts with COVID-19 and both are still undergoing treatment for the effects of the virus. There s still people that think this a bad version of the flu. Some people think it is a hoax. But I ve had friends that have passed away from it. My wife has been out of the hospital for 10 weeks and she is having to be on oxygen for 10 hours day. Me, I had the blood clot part of it. You ve just to take it seriously, Herndon said.
