MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Three major healthcare systems began administering vaccines on Thursday, Saint Francis Hospitals said they will begin Friday.
Around 8:00 am, Methodist Germantown got its vaccine shipment. For everyone receiving the vaccine in Memphis, it’s personal.
That’s especially true for Marilyn Davis, a healthcare worker at Baptist, and the first person in Shelby County diagnosed with COVID-19.
“What I went through, I don’t want to go through again, and I don’t want anyone else to go through,” Davis said.
