The sense of relief and excitement was palpable last week as the local allotment of Moderna COVID-19 vaccines arrived and healthcare workers were innoculated.
Due to initial limited supply recipients were prioritized, beginning first with frontline healthcare workers that included Kerrville Fire Department Emergency Medical Services crews, Peterson Health physicians and nurses, Kerrville State Hospital and Veterans Administration Hospital staff.
While the hospitals administered the vaccine shots themselves, H-E-B Pharmacist Amber Burress mobilized to vaccinate other healthcare workers including KFD, home health and hospice workers and other small healthcare providers.
âWe received 100 doses in our first shipment; and I will be delivering and administering vaccines over the next couple of days,â Burress said. âRight now, we are the only provider that I know of certified to distribute the vaccines to individuals.â
