The first thing Mayor Breea Clark plans to do after her series of COVID-19 vaccinations is to hug her grandparents.
Clark received her first shot Wednesday at the University of Oklahomaâs Goddard Health Services.
Clark, along with many Norman residents, has waited for months to see loved ones who have been exiled in their homes or long term care facilities to stay safe against the virus.
âIâm very close to my grandparents,â Clark said. âIâve seen them once in a year, in July 2020, and that was once on their back porch just to say hello, but I havenât hugged them in a year and three months. I have never gone, in my entire life, that long without seeing the most influential people in my life. I canât even talk about it without getting emotional.â
