JENKINS TWP. â I got my shot.
I wonât turn 65 for another 11 years, but I drove to the community vaccination clinic at the Geisinger CenterPoint Professional Office Building on Friday morning and got my first dose of Pfizerâs COVID-19 vaccine.
I qualify during Phase 1A of Pennsylvaniaâs rollout because I have chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. COPD is an inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs.
My supervisors knew of my condition, so when Geisinger invited the newspaper to have a reporter write about their own vaccination experience, they asked me if I was interested.
I was.
