A 33-year-old woman who reportedly works for Disney bragged in a Facebook post this week that she received the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine reserved for frontline health care workers because of a relative’s connection to Redlands Community Hospital.
“When I woke up this morning, I didn’t think I would be getting the COVID-19 vaccine today. But here we are. I’m so very happy,” the Riverside woman gushed about her good fortune on Sunday, Dec. 20. “Science is basically my religion, so this was a big deal for me.”
She also posted a photo of her vaccination card from Redlands Community.
When a Facebook friend inquired how she was able to obtain the vaccine that is not yet available to the general public, she responded that her husband’s aunt is a “big deal” at Redlands Community and had leftover doses that were set to expire.
