CHICAGO (WLS) The first COVID-19 vaccines were administered at several Chicago area hospitals Thursday, where frontline heath care workers were the first to receive the shots.
The shipment of the century rolled into Cook County Health Thursday morning loaded with anticipation. Every step had to be executed down to the second, carefully unloaded into ultra-cold storage. A few precious vials were left out to thaw. Today is different for me because it s almost a renewed hope, because we have this virus and it s almost like a light at the end of the tunnel, said Tracy Everett, who has spent months taking in the sickest patients at Cook County s Stroger Hospital. The things that s going through my mind right now is just that I m happy that we ve come to this point.
