Arkansas’ senior senator John Boozman stressed the importance of getting the coronavirus vaccine during a trip to Pine Bluff Wednesday.

Boozman talked to Deltaplex News about what he called his Shots in the Arm tour over the Easter congressional break, then went to Wal Mart and the new VA clinic on Market Street.

He went on to talk about the speed in which the vaccine was developed.

On Tuesday, Governor Asa Hutchinson announced that every Arkansas resident 16 years of age and older can now get vaccinated and Boozman discussed the importance of that action.
