Local health care workers receive COVID-19 vaccine
Initially, Missy Robinson was against receiving the COVID-19 vaccine due to the unknown.
After quite a bit of research and discussions, though, she became excited about it.
Robinson, who has been a registered nurse for 25 years and currently is assistant director of nursing at Covered Bridge Health Campus in Seymour, said she happily took the vaccine for her patients, family, community and profession. As a nurse, I have seen firsthand what this virus has done and so many lives lost, not only due to the virus itself but the associated isolation, she said. If I can be a part of something that saves a life, then I have done my part in battling this pandemic.
