Vaccine A Personal Experience
The state this week is making more people eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine with those 16 and older with certain medical conditions now eligible for the shots. Hometown Broadcastings’s Nick Van Nocker got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine last week at the Fond du Lac County Fairgrounds Expo Center. He says it was well organized and there were plenty of people to guide you through the different stations you have to go through. Nick says he believes he may have had the virus last spring, but was told at the time it was pneumonia. He also tested positive for the virus in December, but was asymptomatic at the time.
