Paramedics receive first doses of COVID-19 vaccine from Moderna
New Castle County Paramedics began receiving their first doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. Because the Moderna vaccine can be stored at normal refrigeration temperatures (the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine requires extreme cold storage), paramedics are able to administer the vaccines without medical personnel. A second dose will be applied in four weeks to complete vaccination.

Caroline Jones of Kind to Kids dropped off toys and books to the Hope Center last week for children in need at the new emergency shelter.
