An exciting moment as Rush Health Systems begins to vaccinate employees

Rush Health Systems employee health coordinator Jessie Upchurch vaccinates respiratory therapist Mike Mayfield on Wednesday. Two physicians, a respiratory therapist and an emergency nurse received the first COVID-19 vaccines at Rush Foundation Hospital in Meridian on Wednesday. The hospital received its first vaccine allotment Wednesday morning, and vaccinations began at 1:30 p.m., according to Dr. Fred Duggan, Rush Health Systems chief medical officer. “We’ve been…really at the epicenter of this for almost nine to ten months,” Duggan said, “and to finally see something that may make a break in this is really exciting.” Dr. Walt Willis, medical director of Rush Critical Access Hospitals and Primary Care Clinics, Chief of the Emergency Department Dr. Patrick Kirkland, ER nurse Stephanie Dunlap and respiratory therapist Mike Mayfield were the first four recipients.
