He was among the first seniors to get the vaccine as part of Group 1B, which includes people over the age of 75.
"It went fine...no problem so far, but I don't, my daughter's going to drive back just in case...but I must say it was well organized," Read said.
Read gave a thumbs-up on his way out of the vaccine center and was happy to have received the potentially life-saving shot.
