Doctor at SF General Who Has Treated Scores of Critically Ill COVID Patients Is First in City to Receive Vaccine
After receiving 2,000 doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine on Monday, SF General became the first hospital in the city to begin administering it Tuesday morning, with one critical-care doctor who has treated the most severely ill COVID patients being the first to receive a dose.
Dr. Antonio Gomez received the vaccine just after 9 a.m. Tuesday, as KPIX and the Examiner report. Gomez serves as medical director of Critical Care Services at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, and has served on the faculty at UCSF in the Division of Pulmonary. He said in a faculty interview that he got into pulmonary and critical care because I really enjoyed the weird, very extreme physiology affecting multiple organ systems that occurs in the ICU – much of which often center on the seemingly simple act of air moving in and out of the lungs.
