Cavan Quam, an intensive care unit nurse at Adventist Health Lodi Memorial, said Wednesday morning was almost like waking up to see what Santa left under a Christmas tree.
âItâs super exciting,â he said. âI woke up this morning acting like a kid at Christmas, with a sort of giddiness. I just had a big smile on my face when everyone was getting their vaccinations. I feel like itâs the beginning of the end of this pandemic, and thereâs a light at the end of the tunnel.â
Quam was one of the first at the hospital to receive a first dose of Pfizerâs COVID-19 vaccine Wednesday morning, taking what should have been a day off to help administer doses to his co-workers on the front lines.
