Letter to the Editor: Kudos to town for vaccine distribution

by | Apr 5, 2021 | Letter to Editor

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Town of Hopkinton for its efficient administration of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Starting with the Board of Health, thank you for setting up the process for the staff at the Senior Center with the scheduling, to the Fire Department from Chief Slaman down to the paramedics who administered the two doses of vaccine. Very well done!

When you are young, one year out of your lifetime is probably not a big deal. When you get to be 80, one year is a big deal. Maybe shortly we can get back to a “near normal” life again, seeing family, friends, neighbors and others we’d like to see. Once again eating out, traveling, movies, theater, sports, etc.

Thank you again for getting our lives started back to normal!

— William and Alice Hamilton, Hopkinton
