Hazel Plummer, 112, survived the flu pandemic of 1918. A little over 100 years later, she received the Pfizer vaccine to help her live through another one.
âYou have to have faith that this works, and it looks like this works good,â said her son, 84-year-old David Plummer, referring to the vaccine.
