The light at the end of the tunnel moved a little closer for some health care workers at Methodist Fremont Health on Wednesday as they were among the first in the area to receive COVID-19 vaccinations.
The hospital received approximately 200 doses of the Pfizer-BionNTech COVID-19 Vaccine from the Methodist Health System on Tuesday. In total, the health system, which encompasses three campuses between Fremont and Omaha, received 1,775 doses of the vaccine.
Angela Meiergerd, a registered nurse at Methodist Fremont Health, was the first employee at the hospital to receive the vaccine.
