Parkland expects to get COVID-19 vaccine this week

Parkland Health Center hopes to start giving its healthcare workers the COVID-19 vaccine by the end of the week, according to Parkland Medical Director Dr. Scott Kirkley. BJC HealthCare in St. Louis is expecting the first doses of Pfizer’s vaccine to arrive at its ultra-cold storage on Tuesday, he said. BJC is offering the vaccine to all employees. “So our oldest of healthcare workers that are patient-facing will have first option,” Kirkley said. “We ll get the vaccine as early as starting on Thursday.” This means anyone working directly with patients will be first priority, starting with the oldest employees.

SFCHC not getting first round of COVID vaccine

The St. Francois County Health Center will not be getting the first round of the COVID-19 vaccine due to the required ultra-cold storage and handling, according to Nursing Supervisor Linda Ragsdale said. “We currently are on calls almost daily with (Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services) for updates as to when we will be receiving the vaccine that is not required to be stored at ultra-cold temps,” she said. She said health care workers and long-term care facilities will be first priority for the vaccine. On Thursday, a U.S. government advisory panel endorsed widespread use of Pfizer’s vaccine, which needs to be stored at negative 94 degrees Fahrenheit.
