Father John McVoy, administrator of St. Joseph’s on French Street, arranged with the state of Delaware to administer first doses at the church for those age 65 and older.
“People are more happy because we’ve come out to them as opposed to them trying to find an appointment online,” said Gaye Council, a parishioner and site coordinator for DPH. “Elderly people need more support.”
Council said the group received the Pfizer vaccine.
