HOLLAND, Mich. â When firefighter Jeff Potter signed up to get the Pfizer vaccine shot at 9 a.m. on Friday, he didnât realize heâd be one of the first people in the county to get it.

OTTAWA COUNTY, Mich. The first healthcare workers at Holland Hospital and the Ottawa County Department of Public Health received a COVID-19 vaccine Friday. My staff have been in the trenches of this battle since March and we have seen devastation, the likes of which we never imagined in our careers, said Deb Langeland, a registered nurse and clinical manager of the intensive care unit at Holland Hospital. For them to have some way to know that we re going to start to conquer this virus, it s just amazing.
