After Murray State’s regional vaccination site was postponed because of ice storms, some members of the community received COVID-19 vaccinations on Sunday, Feb. 14, and Sunday, Feb. 21.
Chief Medical Officer Bob Hughes said approximately 945 people received their vaccination on these two days. Hughes said there was an amazing turnout with only a few people not showing to get the vaccine.
“The thing that was really nice was to see the expressions on people’s faces,” Hughes said. “There was a lot of joy that people were starting to get vaccinated. There’s been a lot of vaccinations given, but just to see that many people at one time coming in to be vaccinated was quite a delight for them. Even though it’s a two-shot series, there’s a lot of protection with the first shot.”
