A Shot With Blue: Colts Mascot (and doctors) Encourage Vaccinations at IMS
SPEEDWAY, Ind.–Blue, the Colts mascot, got his COVID-19 vaccination at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Monday, then ran across the yard of bricks to celebrate. The mass vaccination clinic is now offering a choice of shots.
“This is the way, eventually, we’ll be back to normal behavior where we can laugh, and hug, and dance, and enjoy, and we can do it without our masks and without social distancing in the future. But not until we get enough people vaccinated to get this disease under control.” said Dr. Elaine Cox, chief medical officer at Riley Children’s Health, who administered Blue’s shot.

To the editor,
“I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart and hope that one day somehow I can pay this amazing gift of giving forward” words from a mother who was helped by The Evelyn C. Peeler Children’s Holiday Gift Fund.
Our mission over the past 42 years has been to ensure that less-fortunate children in Ridgefield have gifts to open, new clothing and a meal on the table during the holidays.
We are pleased that we were able to provide for these children again this year but could not have done so without the help of many.
