On Friday, a gray, wintry day, Anne Patey, Student Health Services (SHS) director of nursing, checked in Emily Gibb at her table in the FitRec basketball gym that is now BU’s COVID-19 vaccination center. Patey opened up a glass vial and drew the first dose of the COVID vaccine.
Gibb (Sargent’10), an athletic trainer with SHS, rolled up the sleeve of her gray sweatshirt and held out her left arm. Patey swabbed the area. “You’re going to feel a little stick now,” she said. It was 10:05 am. And just like that, Gibb became the first person to receive one of the first 500 doses of the Moderna vaccine provided to BU.
