Palmetto State’s Oldest Resident Got Vaccinated Against COVID-19

The oldest resident of South Carolina has received the COVID-19 vaccine. According to Prisma Health, Maria Aulenbacher, at 111-years-old, has become the oldest resident of SC to receive the vaccine. She received the COVID-19 vaccine along with her daughter and son-in-law, who are both in their 70s, last week. They were among the first 100,000 people to receive the vaccine through Prisma Health, hospital officials said. Aulenbacher was 9 years-old in 1919 when she went through the Spanish Flu pandemic. She is the oldest of six children and moved from Germany to the Upstate around a decade ago.
