HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Hundreds of Maui residents got vaccinated at the War Memorial Gymnasium in Wailuku on Thursday.
It was the first day residents could get the Johnson & Johnson vaccine since it was put on pause earlier this month while health experts investigated its potential connection to a rare side effect â the development of blood clots.
Susan Fricke drove from Lahaina to get her shot and said sheâs not nervous at all.
âNo. I think itâs going to be just fine,â she said. âIâm not too worried about it.â
Susan Frick, a dementia educator, will lead the discussion.
The event is part of the Caregiver Wisdom Series hosted by Kelly Johnson and Deb Kelsey-Davis, active caregivers, ministry leaders and co-founders of Nourish for Caregivers. The Christ-centered program based in Northbrook, Ill., supports the practical, emotional and spiritual needs of family caregivers.
