0:47 KLCC's Tiffany Eckert reports on the first COVID-19 vaccines administered to PeaceHealth RiverBend hospital staff. It only took seconds to clean the injection site and poke the needle into Carol Eickmeyer’s arm. The roomful of hospital caregivers and staff erupted. (sound of clapping and cheers) The registered nurse was first in line to receive the highly anticipated vaccine. After a 15-minute observation period--with no negative side effects--Eickmeyer described the experience. “I feel great,” she said. “I’m excited about today. I’m excited that the vaccine is here in Oregon and that we’re finally getting it.” She assured it was just a little sting. “Honestly it wasn’t as bad as the flu shot. I don’t feel anything anymore,” she said.
