David Hollingsworth, 84, waited an hour before shooting his covid-19.
“I’m looking forward to taking the second one so we’re done. I want to get on a plane, fly back and visit my son and his kids back in Connecticut,” Hollingsworth said. .
While he was called, there were many in a row who did not.
James Kennedy, 87, came up with just a newspaper article about the vaccine clinic.

Earlier this week, Riverside County made 5,600 vaccine appointments available to its elderly population, which were quickly replaced.
“What we want to do is help people, we don’t want to take them away, but it’s so important for people to follow the protocol by getting these appointments,” said John Welsh, a public spokesman for Riverside County.

The ease of gesture was obvious.
Riverside County is stressing the public because of limited vaccines, people need to make an appointment. About 700 to 800 people are expected to be vaccinated in Lake Elsinore on Saturday.
