St. Alexius Medical Center nurses who cared for Illinois' first COVID-19 patients get vaccinated

CHICAGO (WLS) -- The first known person in the U.S. to contract COVID-19 from someone in the country is thanking the people who helped him pull through.
Healthcare workers at St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates who treated that first COVID-19 patient are now getting their vaccinations.
"Excitement and hope. It has been a long road," St. Alexius nurse Alyssa Miller said.
"Roll up your sleeve, bite the bullet, and take the vaccine," said Lynwood Jones, medical director for infection control at St. Alexius. "I think the problem is that over the past year we have seen enough people sick and enough people die."
