SANTA ANA (CBSLA) — A Providence St. Joseph Hospital nurse was the first person in Orange County Wednesday to be vaccinated for COVID-19, shortly followed by other health care workers.
“It is a very special day to be here,” Providence St. Joseph CEO Dr. Jeremy Zoch said, noting that the vaccine’s arrival is a much-needed relief after many difficult months.
Nurse Michael Lowman was the first to voluntarily receive the inoculation, followed by nurses Song Lee and Soledad Mathus, Dr. Paul Sheikewitz, and respiratory therapist Brian Sullivan, at Providence St. Joseph’s Hospital in Orange. Nurse practitioner Christie Aiello administered the shots.
