Shannon Fletcher, a respiratory therapist at LMH Health, was the first person to receive a COVID-19 vaccine at Lawrence s hospital on Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2020.
One month ago, LMH Health respiratory therapist Shannon Fletcher shared in a public message that she “broke down into tears” thinking about how the pandemic is so out of her control.
On Wednesday night, she was the first person to receive a COVID-19 vaccine at LMH Health.
It was exciting, Fletcher said, noting that she felt a “kind of relief.”
“We can see the light at the end of the tunnel and we know relief is in sight,” she said. “It makes me very hopeful for what we can see in the next year or so.”
