TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - It showed up in a box that didn’t look all that special, but to the people at CHRISTUS Mother Frances in Tyler it looked like hope. Inside the box was Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.
“Hopefully it’s the end of this pandemic,” said Ryan Tamula, the administrative director of emergency services.
Tamula works inside the emergency room and said he comes face-to-face with COVID-19 every day. He was one of the first frontline workers to receive the vaccine at CHRISTUS Mother Frances, just hours after the vaccine arrived.
