MADISON, Wisconsin (madison.com/Wisconsin State Journal) For Mao Lor, 65, getting a COVID-19 vaccine was painless and will make her feel safer leaving home, she said.
“There’s no hurt,” the resident of the Bayview apartments in Downtown Madison said after receiving a shot Wednesday. “I need to protect (myself) so I can go to the store.”
