I was honored to spend time on the phone with Sigrid Stokes, a Pacific Grove nurse in her 70s who is working the frontlines vaccinating people against Covid-19. Sigrid's mother volunteered during the Spanish flu pandemic. read the story! mailchi.mp/mcweekly/2021-…

Stokes was a journalism major before she got a nursing degree. She was careful about spelling names and wanted to make sure I was accurate. I was nervous I'd flub something but was relieved when she sent an email this morning saying she appreciated how "ACCURATE" I was. #phew

It is detailed but it's more of a playbook for the people who are/will be involved. It's what I would have liked to have seen in December before the first vaccines arrived in the county. We learn the county's vaccine planning workgroup convened in Nov. 3/
