Pharmacist drives through winter storm to get COVID-19 vaccines to local couple, homebound daughter

DONEGAL TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A pharmacist drove 20 miles through a winter storm last week to get COVID-19 vaccines to a couple and their homebound daughter in Donegal Township, Channel 11′s news exchange partners at TribLIVE reported.

Ed Christofano traveled on snow-covered roads through the Allegheny Mountains to make it to the couple, both of whom are over the age of 65, and their 34-year-old daughter, who is at extreme risk of dying from the virus, TribLIVE reported.

Christofano, owner of Hayden’s Pharmacy, had three doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in a cooler. They were left over from a vaccine clinic in Youngwood, and they were about to expire, according to TribLIVE.

Amanda Blevins, the daughter of the couple, was born with multiple congenital abnormalities, TribLIVE reported. She is immobile, except for head movements, and nonverbal. She is also on a ventilator.
