The Tidelands Health registered nurse barely winced as she was injected with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, moments later admitting that it hadn’t set in yet that she will evermore be the first person in the county to get the shot that carries with it immense hope for medical personnel and the community alike. “I’ve seen what this virus can do, firsthand, and I’m just ready for it to go away,” Griffith said. “I think it is so important to get vaccinated because there are so many people that are carrying it around and don’t even realize it, but then I see the people that it is affecting in the ICU — it is so important to get vaccinated, so we can all get immunity and have this pandemic end, or at least dwindle. It’s been a very long few months.”
