Michael Ransom learned that Costco would be offering COVID-19 vaccinations on Feb. 6 through a post on neighborhood website Nextdoor. He immediately went to the warehouse club’s website to try to sign up.
Within 20 minutes he had scheduled vaccinations for both himself and his wife at the Clackamas Costco near their home. Ransom, 75, received his first vaccination at Costco on Monday. His wife, Carol, will receive hers next week.
