“I have no issues getting this vaccine,” said Klose. “Nothing to be afraid of… It’s a great thing for the State of NH, first responders, and the country.”

Klose later described the process as “painless” and as a “proud moment.” He and even joked with medical staff as they administered the vaccination.
