First doses of COVID-19 vaccine administered to health care workers in Worcester
WORCESTER — It’s been “a rough nine months” in the two COVID-19 intensive care units for Fredrik Oestberg, a nurse educator at UMass Memorial Medical Center University campus.
But Oestberg had reason to be hopeful on Thursday, as he was first in line to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
“I’m hoping by getting the shot and by more and more people getting the shot, this will be the beginning of the end,” Oestberg said. “I think we all want to get back to normal again, and I think that this will be the thing that will help us get there.”
