Jerry Newell and his staff at Pasquotank-Camden Emergency Medical Services have been dug in against COVID-19 since the pandemic began in March.
Perhaps no one in the two counties has had more interaction with COVID-19 patients than Newell and his group of frontline workers.
On Tuesday, Newell, who is the local EMS director, became Albemarle Regional Health Servicesâ first patient in Pasquotank County to receive the COVID-19 vaccination.
âThatâs alright,â said Newell, after learning he was the first. âIâm honored to have it.â
Newell and 13 of his staff received their vaccinations aboard ARHSâ mobile laboratory in the agencyâs parking lot off Roanoke Avenue, Tuesday. Administering the vaccinations was Amy Rosenburger, ARHS nursing supervisor for Pasquotank.
