People stand in line awaiting the COVID-19 vaccine at CaroMont Health.
Fifteen-year-old Allison Oberlin-Pope and her mom stopped by an east Charlotte COVID-19 vaccine clinic after school on Thursday afternoon. Oberlin-Pope sat under a white tent in a parking lot between a StarMed Urgent Care and a Planet Fitness to receive her first Pfizer dose.
“I don’t like shots, so I was kind of nervous in the beginning,” Oberlin-Pope said. “It doesn’t actually hurt that much. It’s like a flu shot. It’s just the anticipation is scary.”
Oberlin-Pope says she “barely did anything” last summer. Her family has been pretty strict during the pandemic about who she can see and where. Now, she said, she’s looking forward to a June camping trip with a friend.
