As coronavirus vaccines rolled out to US healthcare workers in December, stories of dysfunction and disappointment quickly emerged. States reported receiving fewer doses than they d anticipated, while local health departments said they didn t have the funding or staff to administer vaccines quickly enough.
But the doctors, nurses, and volunteers giving out the shots tell a different story. They ve seen people cry tears of joy as they receive their first doses. Some vaccine recipients have danced around. Many take selfies.
