History was made early Wednesday afternoon as 10 Baptist Health Madisonville employees were administered the first doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
Employees in the Joseph Miller Auditorium at the hospital erupted into applause as Duana Camplin, a respiratory therapist with Baptist, was the first to receive the vaccine.
âToday, we are humbled, honored and we are excited to be one of 11 hospitals in the state of Kentucky â the first in western Kentucky â to receive the vaccination to fight COVID-19,â said Dr. Wayne Lipson, chief medical officer of Baptist Health Madisonville. âWe are here to start with our frontline workers, doctors, nurses and respiratory therapists that have been fighting this fight since late February and early March.â
