The Kansan
Sandie Kueker s Hesston Pharmacy was one of the first pharmacies in the state to start giving COVID-19 vaccinations when the shots became available first partnering with the county health department to get doses before a federal vaccination program for pharmacies opened up.
The community jumped on board from the beginning offering notes of support, encouragement and volunteering to help create clinics with the goal of brining the pandemic to an end. It is so many volunteers. It makes you teary eyed to think about how amazing this community is, Kueker said.
