Seacoast frontline healthcare workers get first COVID vaccines
By Karen Dandurant
One of the people giving the inoculations was nurse practitioner Leslie Gurrisi.
“I am so excited to be involved in this,” Gurrisi said. “This is a historic moment. I will be getting my vaccine as soon as I can. We need this pandemic to end and I think this is the beginning of that.”
Gurrisi said they would give 48 doses on Wednesday and will begin the next round Thursday morning. The Pfizer vaccine arrived at Exeter Hospital Tuesday, a day after arriving in New Hampshire. On Friday, it became the first COVID-19 vaccine to be approved by the FDA.
