When David Merritt walked out of Bernard Hurst American Legion Post 77 in Brookville, Ind., on April 27, he had a smile on his face, as did most who exited the post that day following their second COVID-19 vaccine shot.
Since March 30, Post 77 has been hosting weekly vaccination clinics, which will wrap up May 4. Around 700 area residents – ranging from high-school age to senior citizens – will have received both vaccination shots by the end of the effort, including a relieved Merritt.
“This feels great. It almost feels like you get your freedom back a little bit,” said the 37-year-old Merritt, a Brookville resident. “The reason I got the shot wasn’t for me. It was for everybody else so I wasn’t passing (COVID-19) around. I’m a pretty healthy guy. So this was invaluable. It’s close by. Convenient.”
