Bozeman Health Deaconess Hospital staff line up to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine Dec. 14, 2020.
Highly anticipated COVID-19 vaccines are arriving in Montana’s ten large hospitals this week, earmarked for frontline health care workers. A Bozeman hospital administered its first doses of COVID-19 vaccine Tuesday.
The mood was light at Bozeman Health Deaconess Hospital as staff members bared their arms for syringes containing the Pfizer vaccine, which arrived Monday morning.
Heard there receiving his shot, Emergency Department Medical Director Eric Lowe said during a Zoom press conference that staff members with high exposure to COVID-19 and departments with limited staffing will get the hospital’s initial doses.
