Governor Charlie Baker was getting a little emotional, holding back tears, as yesterday was the first anniversary of his emergency order at the start of the coronavirus crisis in Massachusetts.
According to WBZ/CBS Boston, Baker, Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito and Sec. of Health and Human Services Marylou Sudders toured an N-95 mask manufacturing facility in Bridgewater that is operated by the Shawmut Corporation and Fallon Company.
While touring the facility it reminded Baker of where we were at a year ago and how at that time finding protective equipment for frontline workers was a struggle. We ve come a long way since then.
A sore arm, identical to the aftereffect of a typical flu shot.
Taylor Hoffstedt, a certified nursing assistant, was overwhelmed with emotion before her first dose last month, even tearing up. Physically, though, she was almost entirely unaffected.
âI didnât have any side effects,â she said. âOther than a slightly sore arm.â
As county health care workers receive their second dose or draw closer to the scheduled date for it, many told The Eagle they have experienced few or none of the vaccineâs more common side effects.
Among more than 2,000 employees vaccinated at Berkshire Health Systems, the vast majority reported no side effects at all, according to spokesperson Michael Leary.
