Community Hospital in Munster, Indiana administered its first round of vaccines for health care workers Tuesday morning. However, hospital officials warn the fight against COVID-19 is far from over.
Community Healthcare Systems emergency physician, Dr. Alan Kumar, said the hospital expects to receive 2,000 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine by the end of the week. Like other hospitals who have received the vaccines, Kumar said Community will also serve as a location where health care workers from other counties can also be vaccinated.
He said Community has already started thinking of their approach to a larger-scale vaccination effort, when the vaccine is available to the public. He says that includes battling misinformation related to the vaccine.
