TULSA, Oklahoma -
More than 200 people with disabilities are getting the COVID-19 vaccine thanks to a partnership with the Oklahoma Caring Van and the Center for Individuals with Physical Challenges.
Staff said most of the people getting the vaccine at the center are members who made appointments ahead of time.
Wendi Fralick is the executive director and said getting the vaccine to people with disabilities is important because many of them have underlying health conditions that put them at high risk for the virus.
Lindsey Spoon said she and her mother have been waiting almost three months to become eligible to get the vaccine.
