HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The COVID-19 vaccine clinic at the Hutchinson Sports Arena Friday went off as planned, with help from county employees and volunteers. It took about 60 people to get the 700 who were at the top of the list vaccinated.
"I am one of the elderly high risk transplant persons who have long been waiting on the vaccine shot," said Richard Kennedy in an email to Hutch Post. "I was amazed how well it was organized and how easy the process was. They went above and beyond helping anyone with assistance into the facility, registration, and the actual shot. Then they assisted you into the arena and help you find a seat to wait out your time of observation to be sure you are doing well."
Reno County Commissioner Daniel Friesen took time to talk to those who had received their vaccination while they were waiting out their observation time.
"What a pleasant experience with people who were very caring, friendly, and helpful, Kennedy said. "They made the apprehensive situation much more enjoyable."
Over 4,000 people preregistered before the Friday clinic. Enter your information here to get on the list.
