Staff at McLaren Port Huron Hospital were among the first recipients of the COVID-19 vaccine in the Blue Water Area. 275 doses of the Pfizer BioNtech vaccine arrived at the hospital Thursday night and the first doses were administered Friday morning. Dr. John Brooks, Chief Medical Officer of McLaren Port Huron, says emergency room and intensive care unit staff were first in line to be vaccinated. Katrina Raski, a medical assistant in the emergency department, was administered McLaren Port Huron’s first vaccine around 5am Friday. Over the next four weeks, Dr. Brooks expects all staff at McLaren Port Huron and Marwood Nursing and Rehab to be offered the injection. “We have these waves of vaccines coming in from the state, so we’re going to be vaccinating people as time goes by,” Brooks told WPHM. “What we’re hoping for is that by the end of January that anyone affiliated with McLaren Port Huron gets a vaccination.”
