GREAT BARRINGTON
It was only in the past few months that Aaron Eliassen, 43, started venturing out to the grocery store. Now, he goes at night to avoid the crowds.
He has a respiratory disorder called primary ciliary dyskinesia that has led to lifelong problems and left his lungs scarred, and also causes him to feel like heâs battling an ever-present cold. Eliassen became eligible for the coronavirus vaccine just this week, when the state opened up appointments to all adults with two or more health conditions that put them at higher risk.
Getting vaccinated feels like a step forward for Eliassen, an inflection point of sorts. Still, the father of three said he does not plan to ease up on the coronavirus safety precautions heâs followed diligently for almost a year.
