The emotion inside the Capital Area Intermediate Unit headquarters on Thursday from school employees after receiving their COVID-19 vaccination could rival an amusement park, said its executive director Andria Saia.
“Disney has nothing on a COVID vaccination event,” she said. “People are so happy and so relieved. Really it is a weirdly happy place for getting a big needle stuck in your arm. I’m just absolutely shocked at how happy everybody is.”
Thursday was the first day when school employees who work in Cumberland, Dauphin, Perry and northern York County could receive vaccinations through this special statewide initiative aimed at getting schools back to in-person learning five days a week.
