BATESVILLE, Ark. (KAIT) - On Thursday, Batesville Fire Department received the first round of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Almost all of the Batesville Fire Department’s full and part-time employees got the Moderna vaccine, thanks to Econo-Mart Pharmacy.
Chief Brent Gleghorn said the pharmacy reached out to the department before they were even cleared to give the vaccines, to make sure the first responders were on the list.
Gleghorn said that shows how the community has been working together to fight the virus.
