A two-hour drive stands between John Suderman and his vaccine.
The 91-year-old Dauphin resident is currently eligible to be immunized against COVID-19 but he needs to get to a vaccination clinic because he lives on his own.
When he booked his vaccine appointment this week, Suderman, a retired high school principal, realized he would have to drive to the nearest immunization site in Brandon. At the age of 91, there are not that many people that are sharp enough to do it on their own or have the energy to do it on their own, and so they are left hanging dry, he said.
