Guttenplan says she got vaccinated to protect herself, her family, and her community. She added that she is thankful to all the frontline workers and everyone who is still responding to the many challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Guttenplan and her husband plan to put the winnings towards their daughters’ college education.
Nadia Dutton, of Rockland, was awarded a $300,000 scholarship grant for getting her vaccine. She is entering her sophomore year at Rockland High School this fall and is a three sport athlete on the girls volleyball, basketball, and lacrosse teams.
Dutton says she wants to pursue a career in nursing and would one day like to be a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. She is hoping to attend a four-year college in the New England area and is very interested in Salve Regina University because it’s where her mom attained her nursing degree.
