The first COVID-19 vaccine has been given at Brandon s new vaccine supersite. This is a little bit of a surprise, said Joanna Robb, who didn t expect to be first in line.
Robb is a cytotechnologist who works at Shared Health s Westman Lab, which deals with COVID-19 specimens, making her eligible for the vaccine. There s a worldwide pandemic, and every day I sit at work listening to it, usually the CBC, to the updates, and you hear the death tolls every day and the numbers, and it s heartbreaking, Robb said. And we can do something.
