Wednesday morning, the first Huntsville Hospital employee was administered the coronavirus vaccine.
You could almost feel the relief among the hospital staff in the room. Right after the first vaccine was administered, the room erupted in applause.
"Everyone's very excited. I know all the staff that I've spoken to are excited about getting vaccinated," said Dr. Jeffrey Walker, Huntsville Hospital trauma surgeon.
"I think as nurses and doctors, we are leaders of the community. And we are glad to show the community that this is what we need to be doing," said Rachel Morris, registered nurse at Huntsville Hospital.
