FALL RIVER All three monks got their vaccines on Sunday.
The same held true for the sole female nun who also resides at the Khmer Buddhist Temple on Highland Avenue.
“I’m happy,” said Lompha Riph, a petite woman who shaves her head in a manner consistent with Buddhist tradition.
A total of 68 people, most of them members of Fall River’s Cambodian community, came through the doors of the three-story dwelling to get a first-round shot of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
Members of the city’s emergency medical services, a division of Fall River’s fire department, were on hand to administer the vaccines.
