From the article:

Frail Port Angeles senior Inez Cowan was all smiles Thursday as a Fort Street pharmacy nurse injected her with Canadian-made influenza vaccine.

Cowan, 88, was one of 20 who ventured across the border to get vaccinated in Canada, part of Carlsborg-based Royal Tours’ first “Flu Shot Tour.”

“I have to have it,” said Cowan, who wears a heart pacemaker and moves around with the aid of a walker.

The charter bus company, owned by Port Townsend businessman Kevin Harris, transported Sequim and Port Angeles residents and others from as far away as Poulsbo and Shelton to a Victoria pharmacy vaccine clinic Thursday.

…Cowan was escorted by her daughter, Peggy Schouviller of Shelton, who also was vaccinated at Victoria Compounding Pharmacy near Fort and Cook streets.
