As the COVID-19 vaccine rollout gains momentum, Alton’s OSF Saint Anthony’s Hospital is a part of the mix. Pfizer’s vaccine recently received emergency use authorization and Moderna is expecting approval as well, meaning even more of the vaccine in the pipeline.
But that doesn’t mean everyone that wants a shot will be able to get one right away, as the hospital’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Dennis Sands tells The Big Z.

He says those front-line workers at greatest risk will be the first to receive the vaccination, which includes those taking care of patients directly or indirectly, doctors and nurses that may be exposed to COVID patients or infectious materials, and other frontline providers.
THE SHAMEFUL LANDS AND COUNTRY PLANNING MINISTER DR. DENNIS SANDY
Controversial Lands and Country Planning Minister, Dr. Dennis Sandy a man who has embarrassed the Maada Bio Government so much and is abhorred by even ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party ( SLPP ) supporters for his callous destruction of people’s homes and seizure of lands belonging to private citizens almost marred the much-awaited Constituency 110 Bye-elections in Freetown last Saturday and should by now have been fired by President Maada Bio.
In presenting its report on the much-heated bye-elections, the National Elections Watch ( NEW ) issued a serious complaint about Minister Sandy. According to NEW , Sandy stormed a polling station at Kent Village with thugs and disrupted the work of the National Elections Commission ( NEC ). One of the thugs even threatened the life of a district electoral commission.
In my opinion, I believe that the hatred of Mr. Sandy has clouded the minds of some Sierra Leoneans who are constantly engaged in drawing negative attention towards him. Mr. Sandy is a patriotic Sierra Leonean who has earned the TRUST AND RESPECT of the president and nothing will change that reality. He is an educated man and a former professor of the University of Sierra Leone who has played an important role towards educating our citizens. He is not an uneducated APC thug or thief that has been involved in any form of corruption in politics as member of PMDC or APC and currently the SLPP. The SLPP party chose him as an election supervisor during this election in constituency 110, just like the APC choice of the minority leader Chernoh Maju Bah as a supervisor during this same election.
