As the state s COVID-19 numbers dramatically increase, nurses are once again finding themselves on the frontlines.
In the last two weeks, Oklahoma has seen hospitalizations for COVID-19 more than double.
Nurses in the Oklahoma City area and those in hard hit areas of the country at Mercy hospitals told News 9 they haven t even had enough time to process what happened in 2020. I didn t think it would be so soon, said nurse Lauren Jerichow.
She along with Emily Alonso both work in the COVID unit at Mercy Hospital in Oklahoma City. I don t know if there is anyway to prepare for this. Essentially it s a war, said Jerichow. We are fighting a battle that seems like it can t be won.
First Mercy Hospital of Oklahoma City released new video of frontline workers receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
A total of 75 caregivers were offered the vaccine on Tuesday, within hours of it arriving at the hospital.
The first doses came in a 9 a.m. and were immediately placed in the ultra-cold freezer, set aside for its storage.
From there, the pharmacy staff began the thawing process prior to administering the shots.
The first two people at the hospital to receive the shot were registered nurse Lauren Jerichow, and Dr. Maroun Tawk.
Jerichow works in the medical and surgical unit and treats coronavirus patients daily. She explained why she felt it was important to receive the vaccine.
