Anita Muldoon could sense that this might be her last chance to make it as a cop. She was riding shotgun in a Minneapolis squad car in the fall of 1993 when her training officer offered a blunt assessment of her standing. “You’re not trusted,” he told her. “And you won’t be until you’re in a physical fight.”

As the morning bell rang to alert students class were about to start, the Marion Public Health vaccine clinic at Harding High School was officially underway.
On Thursday morning, Marion Public Health brought its medical team into Harding High School to administer vaccines with a heavy focus on getting young adults vaccinated. Prior to the day, Harding sent home consent forms with students to get permission from parents for them to receive the vaccination. In total, Sarah Nicewaner, director of nursing for MPH, said they brought 400 vials of the Pfizer vaccine with hopes of using about 100 to 150 of them.
Of the students getting vaccinated on Thursday morning, Harding senior Lily Diehl, 18, sat alongside her mother as the two received their first doses of the Pfizer vaccine. Diehl, who is planning on attending the cosmetology school at Aveda Institute, said she is just relieved that she can start returning to a sense of normal life in the future.
