Clinics came to the River

FINN ROCK: “It felt okay, it was just a tiny sting,” was Ellen Wilson’s just after getting her first coronavirus vaccination. She said she wasn’t apprehensive before getting her shot at Sunday’s clinic inside the McKenzie High School gym. “I’m very thankful this was available,” she added. “I wouldn’t have missed it for anything.”

She was 615 other people walking around with sore arms this week after receiving a vaccination at either the school or at the McKenzie Fire & Rescue station in Leaburg.

Lane County Public Health officials say they are working on plans to vaccinate additional fire survivors when the State’s criteria allows all, regardless of age or pre-existing conditions to qualify.
