A team of health care workers responsible for administering thousands of COVID-19 vaccine doses in eight months and others who stepped up in various ways during the pandemic shared the spotlight in the Lompoc Valley.
Six awards were handed out at the Lompoc Valley Chamber of Commerce’s annual banquet on Wednesday recognizing people from various sectors for their roles during the public health crisis.
“We felt it absolutely necessary to highlight and celebrate those who went above and beyond during this pandemic to meet the needs of the Lompoc community,” said Devika Stalling, the chamber's chief executive officer. “These amazing individuals remind us that action leads to great impact, and I am so grateful that they are a part of our village.”
