More Northwest Indiana hospitals will start to administer COVID-19 vaccinations Friday in what's being called a "momentous moment."
Just days after Community Hospital in Munster started vaccinating the first health care workers in Northwest Indiana, Methodist Hospitals in Gary and Merrillville and Franciscan Health hospitals in Crown Point, Hammond and Michigan City will start inoculating more front line health care workers against the coronavirus that's killed more than 1.6 million people worldwide, including more than 300,000 Americans.
âThis is a monumental moment for the healthcare industry," said Dean Mazzoni, president and CEO of Franciscan Health Michigan City. "Protecting the people who have been on the very front lines is giving them one more tool to successfully wage this war with a renewed peace of mind that they are protected."
