Pfizer Event A Success

North Central Public Health District says approximately 240 students and their family members got their first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at the district’s “Friday Night Lights” event at Wahtonka Field on Friday.  The event was aimed at 16- and 17-year-olds.   Students were treated to music, free pizza and snacks, and the football field’s lights were flipped on as daylight dimmed at the early evening event.  Oregon Secretary of State Shemia Fagan, a former student in both Dufur and The Dalles schools, was a special guest and thanked students for their contribution to stopping the pandemic.  She likened their combined efforts to the sandbagging efforts the community made during the 1996 floods.
