MIRAMICHI, N.B. - New Brunswick started its COVID-19 vaccination campaign on Saturday with the inoculation of an 84-year-old nursing home resident who said needles don t bother her in the least.
Pauline Gauvin, an 84-year-old resident of Shannex Losier Hall in Miramichi, was the province s first recipient of the vaccine.
Gauvin told the health worker who provided the injection she felt comfortable with having the shot, and, after asking what her next step in the process was, Gauvin was informed she could go back to the waiting area.
