OXFORD – More than 1,000 people have received the COVID-19 vaccination at Bartle’s Pharmacy in Oxford, and business owners said it wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and volunteerism of staff members.

Robert Foote was the 1,000th person to receive the vaccine at Bartle’s Pharmacy, and the owner Heather Bartle, thanked her team for making it possible.

When asked about the vaccination, Foote said, “It’s just so nice to see people outside of their homes and for them to have a reason to be happy again.”

“Hopefully this will be the first step towards things going back to normal.”

Bartle also spoke about the vaccinations and said her team has been working tirelessly to try and help as many people as possible.

“It’s great to see the hard work of the entire team pay off,” said Bartle. “They’ve been working for about five months on this, so it’s so nice to see everything come together.”
