Beebe Healthcare nurse Sintia Rodriguez stepped up Dec. 16 to become the first person vaccinated for COVID-19 in Sussex County.
The Lewes resident, who works in Beebe’s emergency department and behavioral health unit with COVID-19 patients, many from her community, looked confident as she stood first in line for the shot at Beebe Healthcare.
“I’m grateful to get this. It represents something good to do for the community. If it prevents people from getting sick, why not get the vaccine?” she asked.
Beebe received its shipment of 630 doses from the Delaware Division of Public Health just hours before Rodriguez received the first dose of the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine.
