HALIFAX --
A physician, a paramedic, a nurse, and a nursing home resident are among the first in New Brunswick to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
A clinic opened Saturday after the province received its first 1,950 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine earlier in the week.
The very fist in line: 84-year-old Pauline Gauvin of Miramichi. She’s a resident at Shannex’s Losier Hall.
"This is something I won’t forget," she said, after receiving the shot at the Miramichi Regional Hospital Saturday morning.
Some others at the front of the line for the vaccine:
Nicolette Noel, a registered nurse in the intensive care unit of the Miramichi Regional Hospital. She is the first nurse in New Brunswick to get the vaccine.
