Not Throwing Away Their Shots
Healthcare workers around Bergen County are documenting their big “shot” moments on Instagram—a reminder that your turn for the COVID vaccine is coming soon too.
In between pics of cute pets, little kids and yummy-looking meals, we have no doubt that your social media feeds as of late have included lots of photos of healthcare workers whom you know as they get their COVID-19 vaccines. It’s a big deal that scientists came up with both the Moderna and the Pfizer vaccines for COVID-19 less than a year after the virus hit the United States, and so people undoubtedly want to document the occasion!
To raise your spirits and give you hope that your shot is coming soon (even if you’re not in group 1A…or 1B…or 1C…), we compiled seven Instagram photos of healthcare workers around the county getting their first and/or second doses of the vaccine. 2021 is looking up, folks!
After receiving her first dose, Valley Hospital President and CEO Audrey Meyers said, “This fills me with hope for the future.”
