"A step to some sort of normalcy": Penn Medicine administers COVID-19 vaccines at Theatre of Living Arts

A whiteboard for handwritten notes thanking the health-care workers at Penn Medicine is available at their COVID-19 vaccination site, which is by appointment only, at the Theatre of the Living Arts (TLA) in Philadelphia. The board is an opportunity for residents like Kathy Balsley, of West Philadelphia, to express gratitude for receiving her vaccine in a first step to normalcy. Balsley and others said the first thing they will do after receiving their second dose is visit their parents, whom they have not seen in almost a year now.

Kathy Balsley, of West Philadelphia, writes her name and thanks the workers on a white board after receiving her vaccination at TLA from Pennsylvania Hospital on Friday, March, 5, 2021.
