INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Friday was a big day for Indiana seniors.
Hoosiers 80 years old and older are one step closer to getting the COVID-19 vaccine. They were able to make their vaccine appointments Friday.
Seniors like Dorothy Muldrow are ready to get their lives back. She’s 83 years old and a self-proclaimed people person. Right now she’s on two bowling teams that keep her active, but she said she’s ready to do more.
“I just kind of hate I don’t go to church. I miss going to church,” said Muldrow.
That’s why she plans to have her son make her an appointment to take the vaccine as soon as possible.
There are 148 vaccine sites in Indiana, including nine in Marion County.
State health officials are asking Hoosiers to be patient as they may encounter wait times due to a high volume of scheduling.

FISHERS, Ind. (WISH) City leaders in Fishers have created new coronavirus guidelines to go through early February.

Fishers Health Department
