Wayne County’s family thwarted the 81-year-old’s inability to get vaccinated

WESTLAND, USA – An 81-year-old woman in Westland with health problems has not been able to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

The family said her health condition should put her at the top of the list, but she has been able to shoot her.

Dorothy Bigalow, 81, has been married for 60 years, raised seven children, worked, lived and paid taxes in Wayne County.

“Wayne County is disappointing her. That’s what we say, “said Sue Woody.

Woody is one of Bigalow’s four daughters. Together, they have worked tirelessly to try to get their mother to make an appointment for the vaccine.

They said they have tried even though the family cannot get an appointment for her.

“We’re not happy at all, frustrated by that,” Woody said. “We’re up against a wall and that can be deadly to her.”

Macomb County has partnered with SMART Bust to get round trips for seniors to get their vaccines, but so far Wayne County has not contacted SMART for a similar program.

Announcements

The family expects a nearby clinic to see Bigalow before the end of February.
