PHILADELPHIA -- Laura Rago wasn’t smiling behind her mask as she pulled down the arm of her sweater and got her first shot of a COVID-19 vaccine on a rainy Wednesday afternoon in an otherwise-empty Keystone First Wellness Center. The Ridley woman said she had long been resisting the shot.
But then, earlier this month, she learned she’d need to be vaccinated to chaperone a field trip at her son’s school, so she drove to the Chester, Pennsylvania, clinic.
“I was definitely not for this,” said Rago, 33, moments after getting her first dose. “But it’s all the restrictions. I can’t even go on a field trip with my son.”
