SHEFFIELD-On Thursday, December 17 Helen Keller Hospital started receiving their first doses of COVID-19 vaccine. Here is what HKH has to say:
“Our shot of hope has finally arrived!
This morning, frontline healthcare workers and physicians from Helen Keller Hospital and Red Bay Hospital received the first doses of the new COVID-19 vaccine.
Dr. Lynn Ridgeway, Pulmonary Medicine, and Dr. Reid Melson, Hospitalist, were two of the first to receive the vaccine in the Shoals.
This was our first round of doses. We expect to vaccinate the rest of our staff in the coming days.
Dr. F.C. Gapultos, Dr. Randall Little, and Dr. Phillip Dean were also among the first group to be vaccinated.”
