Davis and her husband were turned away after arriving too late for a mass vaccination event hosted by the Macon County Health Department at Progress City USA on the Richland Community College campus. “By the time we got there that morning, there was a police officer saying ‘Sorry, full. You’re going to have to turn around and go home’,” Davis remembered. At least the rejection was quick that time around. She spent two hours on the phone before coming away with the same result during an attempt to schedule a vaccine appointment.
