CORUNNA â Crystal Phinney, a paramedic with Corunna Area Ambulance Service, made local history Tuesday, becoming one of the first people in Shiawassee County to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
Phinney was the first of 10 Corunna and Owosso first responders given the Moderna vaccine at the Shiawassee County Health Department at 1 p.m. Tuesday. Administering the shots was Marji Nichols, a registered nurse and SCHD immunization coordinator.
âHope has arrived,â SCHD Health Director Larry Johnson said. âWe have been patiently waiting for the COVID-19 vaccine to arrive and the day has finally come that we are able to give out our first COVID-19 vaccine. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel.â
