Twenty-five minutes later, Zwinggi responded by asking for Marty’s personal information. Nine minutes after that,Zwinggi _4_ back-Marty had an appointment to get the vaccine.
Zwinggi’s vaccine _5_ started on February 1, when she learned that her seriously sick parents were unable to get appointments themselves.
