Hi-Desert Medical Center in Joshua Tree vaccinated its first staff and physicians against COVID-19 Thursday morning. The hospital received 150 vaccines to begin the inoculations. The medical center’s CEO Karen Faulis said getting the vaccine means the medical staff can take better care of their patients by having the staff immune to the disease. Brian Kim, a certified registered nurse anesthetist who intubates patients and manages their airways, said getting the vaccine means he can worry a little bit less about getting COVID and passing it on to his family.
