A couple of local leaders are now among the ever-growing group of people who have received a COVID-19 vaccination.
Manitowoc Mayor Justin Nickels and County Executive Bob Ziegelbauer were both vaccinated at the County clinic and were among 720 people who received a shot yesterday (April 14th).
Of that group, 299 received their first dose, however, Ziegelbauer received his second Moderna shot. 49,353 shots have now been administered, with 29,904 of those being first dose shots.
