KALAMAZOO COUNTY, Mich. â Healthcare workers at two Kalamazoo hospitals received their COVID-19 vaccine on Thursday. They were the first people in the county to do so.
It was an exciting day at Ascension Borgess where five frontline workers including doctors and nurses were the first to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in Kalamazoo County.
One of the doctors who received it said he has hope for the first time in a long time. I am so charged and excited right now. Right now, I am very proud to be an American. We did this so fast, said Dr. Jeffrey Wilt, the Director of Medical Critical Care Services at Ascension Borgess.
