Covered in snow, a bitter coastal wind whips across the beaches of Chatham, Massachusetts.
But out here in the middle of winter, the fight to vaccinate this nationâs senior population is in full force.
Anna Marie has spent most of the last year inside her Chatham, Massachusetts home. This 68-year-old retired teacher hasnât been able to see her kids or many friends for fear of catching COVID-19.
âItâs difficult that I canât see my children; thatâs the biggest thing. It makes me ache for better times,â Anna Marie said while standing outside of her home, which had just been dusted with a few inches of snow.
