On her 100th birthday, Mildred Grassman got flowers, candy, money and her second shot of the Covid-19 vaccine.
“It means everything to me,” Grassman said just after getting the last shot at Ascension St. Vincent Evansville in Indiana. “At my age, I didn’t want to get the disease.”
It also means that eventually, Grassman will be able to get back to what she loves playing cards and bingo and being with her friends once most people are vaccinated.
“She’s very social,” her daughter, Mary Carl, said of Grassman. “She’s never met a stranger,” she said, so the pandemic has been rough for Grassman, who has her own condo-like home at an independent living facility for seniors in Evansville.
