JCCHS, WMMC & UCM Work Together to Vaccinate Johnson County
Johnson County Community Health Services received their first shipment of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine late last week and with the help of the University of Central Missouri and Western Missouri Medical Center started vaccinating healthcare workers in the County.
JCCHS provided Western Missouri Medical Center with the vaccine, and they started offering it to their front line healthcare workers.
According to a Facebook post, long time Johnson County physician Dr. Bradford Carper received the vaccine because he believes in protecting his patients. Nurse Practitioner Jacki Addington received the vaccine to reduce exposure to her family, as well as her patients at Family Healthcare – Concordia. And paramedic Sara McIntyre got the vaccine because she helps 20 emergency room patients a day.
