For Kilkenny’s Irish Public House, St. Patrick’s Day is typically a packed party with live music, but this year will be different.

“I’m in my 30′s, I could only imagine what it would be like as someone (who is) 80 trying to navigate that,” Griem said.
After sorting out vaccines for her father and father in-law, Griem met Katie Monaghan and began helping more seniors find vaccines.
