On Thursday, Feb. 4, my husband and I got our COVID-19 vaccinations at the Port in Aberdeen.

A rainy, cold, uncomfortable day for those of us in our cars waiting, but our sympathy was for the amazing volunteers standing in the Grays Harbor drizzle. We were told some 80 people of all ages were putting in 10-hour days. They were unfailingly kind and patient.

The organization of such a large undertaking was awe-inspiring and very nearly seamless.

We were in and out in less than an hour, much of that time ensuring the fact that there were no after affects.

Our thanks to the Grays Harbor task force, Pasha, the Port of Grays Harbor, Grays Harbor Fire Departments, hospitals and Dr. John Bauscher.
