  1. I totally agree with the above comments. I thanked Mr. Gries personally when I received my second shot on 3/4. Kudos to the job that the County Health department has performed in getting the shots in peoples arms. You also have to give credit to the Governor’s team in a stellar job in getting the vaccines to the people. Nice job to all! If we work together, we will get this behind us.
