Wanda Reynolds became the first staff member at Saint Vincent Hospital in Worcester to receive the coronavirus vaccine on Thursday.
A nurse asked the respiratory therapist if she was ready. Reynolds replied, “Yup.” and soon applause filled the room.
The moment was replicated across Massachusetts and the country this week as hospitals began providing the vaccine to employees.
Across the city at UMass Memorial Health Care’s University Campus, staff at the hospital also received the vaccine on Thursday.
