ROCK ISLAND, Illinois (Quad-City Times) The people gathered Wednesday inside the COVID-19 vaccination clinic at Milan’s Camden Centre fell almost completely silent when Sabrina Tabby first drew a bow across the strings of her violin.
“It really was a beautiful moment,” Medical Reserve Corps volunteer Elizabeth McLaughlin said while on a break from administering vaccines. “Let’s face it, people can be nervous when they go for things like a vaccine especially since we’re in a pandemic.
“The music started and there was a peaceful feeling that went through the room. People in the waiting area loved it. So did the (Illinois National Guard) soldiers. I know a few them asked the violinist to play ‘Devil Went Down to Georgia.’ It was fun and just beautiful.”
