Amid cameras and applause, Vail Health Hospital administered its first COVID-19 vaccine Wednesday to Lead Respiratory Therapist Julie Scales.
Scales’ personal experience with COVID-19 made her the ideal recipient for the ceremonial first shot, said Vail Health Director of Public Relations Sally Welsh.
Scales tested positive for COVID-19 on March 14, a few days before nearby Vail Mountain shut down due to the virus.
“It was very scary,” she said. “It was just so new.”
Scales visited the Vail ER and was transferred to a Denver area hospital the following day, where she was placed on a ventilator for seven days. Her daughter, who also lives in Eagle County, was with her emotionally through the process, and upon receiving the vaccine on Wednesday, Scales’ first reaction was to embrace her daughter.

Denver is moving in the wrong direction and Mayor Michael Hancock is not happy about it.
At his press conference Tuesday morning, Hancock announced that the state of Colorado has required the city to move back to the Safer at Home Level 3 stage from Safer at Home Level 2. Restoring Level 3, which primarily impacts capacity limits for restaurants and other non-essential businesses, is the last step backward before Denver will have to reimplement stay-at-home orders.
