Paramedics Joe Yochim and Anthony McGrail were in the front of the line for Montgomery County frontline workers getting the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. You can t tell behind this mask but I m smiling and I m almost choking back tears. I m actually excited for this now, said Yochim, who works with Narberth Ambulance.
Countywide, 2,000 paramedics, nurses, and healthcare employees are set to get the first doses of the vaccine. This, after what both men say is a very tough year. I have faith in the scientists that created the vaccine and in the professionals that are offering it to me today, said McGrail of the Second Alarmers Rescue Squad.
