They did not open a vaccination center in their small town, which is why they had to travel ~25 miles to another town. That small town is well known for their good hospital.
It's logistically impossible to use the Pfizer vaccine in a small town because it requires ultracold storage (-70C) only available typically in large, sophisticated facilities, and they have to dethaw and vaccinate in batches of 975, which would potentially overwhelm some small locales.
its a town with 20k people, probably about 1/4 of that over 65. They do plan to do vaccines there, they just didn't get to it yet... but yes I see your point.
