SIH employees receive COVID-19 vaccine By Colin Baillie | December 17, 2020 at 5:26 PM CST - Updated December 17 at 5:26 PM
CARBONDALE, IL. (KFVS) -Southern Illinois Healthcare administered their first vaccinations Thursday morning.
One of the first to receive it was RN Nurse Glenda Mills of SIH Carbondale.
She said she wasn’t nervous and is relieved. “It was really exciting because a whole bunch of us were outside and they were cheering and celebrating just so happy to finally be to this point.”
Mills said this is not the end of the road, as doctors say darker months are ahead of us. “We still have to deal with the same situation I mean the patients are still going to be in the same conditions. But us personally got a little bit more protection on our side.”
