WINSTED, Minn. — Keaveny Drug Pharmacy in downtown Winsted is the kind of place where you can fill your prescriptions with friendly staff who know your name and also pick up a few other things along the way.
Fran Eggert said he was at the pharmacy earlier this week to pick up a sympathy card for a friend, and then curiosity got to him.
"I just happened to ask-- when do you guys think you'll be getting it?" he said, referring to the COVID-19 vaccine. "And they said well just wait a minute, how about Thursday?"
