ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital administered its first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to frontline healthcare workers Thursday afternoon, just hours after the shipments arrived at two of its hospitals, according to hospital officials.
Dr. James Black, Phoebe medical director of emergency services, was the first to receive his vaccination.
“You really don’t feel it. You would feel the initial stick from the needle, but you didn’t feel, I didn’t feel the vaccine going in. It wasn’t cold. She took it directly out of the cooler and withdrew it into the syringe and then injected it, but no it wasn’t uncomfortable at all, no more than any other vaccination,” said Black.
