My husband and I drove 5 hours upstate to get his first vaccination. He teaches, is over 65, and his school had a severe outbreak recently.

My husband and I (both late 70’s) signed up with Chester County more than a month ago. Nothing. Then out of the blue we both got calls today to get our shots tomorrow at the County.
