KEARNEY â David Cantral is excited. Cindy Walker is ecstatic.
As Cantral and Walker feel relief, pride and gratitude.
Both were among the 350 people involved in the Grand Island Meridian Moderna COVID-19 double-blind clinical trial this summer and fall.
Cantral, a pulmonologist at both Kearney Regional Medical Center and CHI Health Good Samaritan, has seen suffering from COVID firsthand since the pandemic began last March.
He said his vulnerable medical patients âare very anxious to lessen their risk. This vaccine was made available with unprecedented speed. I feel very lucky to soon have it available to my patients.â
