Tam Hoy said even though she was nervous, the process was easy.

“Everybody should come,” said Tam Hoy. “I have friends that were having second thoughts about it. But I encourage everyone to come on down. It’s so easy, and so we can travel again.”

Queen’s was the first health care organization in Hawaiʻi to receive and administer the COVID-19 vaccine on Dec. 15, 2020.

Queen’s is currently offering vaccines to people 65 years of age and older, those with high risk medical conditions, and select groups of essential workers. Visit covid.queens.org
