The wait for the COVID-19 vaccine is finally over for some Oklahomans as the Cleveland County Health Department hosted its first vaccine clinic Tuesday.
The clinic was hosted at Normanâs Sooner Mall and offered vaccinations to individuals that fell into the Phase 2 category: first responders, healthcare workers and individuals aged 65 and older.
Jackie Kanak, CCHD regional administrative director, said the clinic was filled within an hour with residents excited to get the vaccine.
âWe didnât know what to expect,â Kanak said. â. People were a little bit hesitant about the vaccine at first, but I think as they saw other people receive it and not have reactions to it, more people hopped on board.â
