MACON, Ga. — The mass vaccination site at Macon's Farmers Market hit a key milestone Friday.
The vaccine site administered its 10,000th shot halfway through its tenth day in business.
Folks gathered to congratulate Naomi Robertson, who received the 10,000th shot.
Robertson shared her thoughts on the vaccine and why she decided to get it.
"I was reluctant initially, but then I thought about it and I said that, you know, we've got to do something about this virus," Robertson said. "It seems like it just keeps spreading, and in order to combat it we have to take the vaccine, wear the mask, do social distancing."
Mayor Lester Miller says he's "excited."
"It's all about saving lives, and today we're able to get that 10,000th shot in the arm. So, we're excited about all the exposure Macon is getting, but really saving lives one person at a time."
