Staff nurse Cindy Morga was the first person in Naas General Hospital to be vaccinated today with the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine against COVID-19.
She was vaccinated by her colleague Maeve Fitzgerald, Clinical Nurse Manager Health and Wellbeing.
Staff vaccinations started today at the hospital with plans to deliver the first dose of the vaccine to all staff. A peer vaccination team of up to seven nurses will vaccinate staff from Monday to Saturday ensuring that all personnel are protected in a planned and timely way.
Getting control of COVID-19 will take more than widespread vaccination; it will also require a better understanding of why the disease causes no apparent symptoms in some people but leads to rapid multi-organ failure and death in others, as well as better insight into what treatments work best and for which patients.

Ollis/Akers/Arney again named top workplace
For the second consecutive year, Ollis/Akers/Arney was named as a top insurance workplace by Insurance Business America.
The southwest Missouri-based insurance and business adviser is one of 67 companies in the United States and one of only 37 with fewer than 99 employees to achieve the distinction, according to an Ollis/Akers/Arney news release.
âThis award is important because we work really hard to provide a great work environment for our team with benefits that will hopefully help our employees and their families succeed,â Joe Gaunt, Ollis/Akers/Arney director of operations said in the release. âWe are 100% employee-owned and that is a big part of our culture. It makes a difference in how employees approach each day ⦠and itâs made a huge difference for them when theyâre retiring.â
