About a dozen people gathered in the parking lot of the Sulphur Senior Center Tuesday to gather information about COVID-19 vaccines from June McBride, RN, Infection Prevention Coordinator with West Calcasieu Cameron Hospital.
Attendees sat in cars for the presentation, which was made via a microphine and sound system due to social distancing protocol.
McBride had a stuffed unicorn, sporting a mask and hand santizer, attached to her belt. She said âCovidicornâ is a visual reminder of the safety measures people must take, even after theyâve had the vaccine.
McBride spoke briefly about how the vaccine, (taken in two doses either three or weeks apart depending on the brand) works and what side effects are possible.
