A mass COVID-19 vaccine clinic opens at Mohegan Sun and people were excited about the chance to get vaccinated. “I’m nervous because I have a heart condition, so I’ve been kind of freaked out ever since this started. So, I’m excited actually, really excited,” said Forster. Forster is from Old Lyme and qualified to get the vaccine because he works at a nearby hospital. For Verna Miller, getting the vaccine on Friday was a relief after a very difficult year. “A very dear friend of mine died two weeks ago from this disease and it’ll be two years since I’ve seen my grandchildren in Europe and the only way I can get to see them is to get this shot,” said Miller, who is from Uncasville.
