ELKTON â Folks were rolling up their sleeves â or trying to â in order to get vaccinated against COVID-19 Wednesday.
âItâs hard sometimes,â said Tiffany Hodgdon, director of nursing at Elkton Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. With the winter weather and people wearing long sleeves or layers Hodgdon said some of her patients had to practically undress so she could swab an arm with alcohol and administer the Moderna vaccine.
But no one was complaining. In fact, it was a party at the facility on Price Drive, with prizes offered to staff after receiving the coveted vaccine.
âToday is an important and giant step toward normalcy,â said Joe DeMattus, president and CEO of the Health Facilities Association of Maryland. âThe first step in getting families back together is the vaccine.â
