County Public Defender Brett Hammond got the shot.
“I’m thrilled,” he said. “My mom lives ten minutes away and I have not been able to hug her for a year. So I can reunite with my family, but I don’t think it should have to come down to being alerted at 4 p.m. on a Saturday that there are extra doses. I think public defenders should get it because they have so much exposure.”
The county said that because of an increase in people not showing up to their COVID vaccine appointments it had the extra doses, so it reached out to the public and asked county workers to come get a vaccine so they wouldn’t go to waste.
