Muskogee Hospitals Prepare To Get COVID-19 Vaccine To Oklahomans
Saint Francis in Muskogee has been tasked with getting vaccines to Oklahomans in the eastern more rural part of the state and have already received nearly 2,000 doses so far.
Deputy Commissioner of Health Keith Reed said partnering with hospitals has been vital in getting the vaccines to Oklahomans. He explains Saint Francis Tulsa is one of the 5 hub distribution points in the state. From Tulsa, the vaccine goes to spoke locations, including Saint Francis Muskogee. Specifically, for Muskogee that is a part of the Saint Francis systems and I know that they have plans in place to use them and have a hub and spoke model to be able to give vaccines to those priority health care groups in that particular system, Reed said.
