GRAND RAPIDS, MI A wave of emotion swept over Melissa Goebel Friday morning as she began injecting her colleagues at Metro Health-University of Michigan Health with the hospital’s first doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.
As a nurse at the Wyoming hospital, she’s seen the toll the infectious respiratory disease has taken on patients and families, as well as her colleagues working on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19. So, when she was offered the opportunity to help administer the vaccine, she jumped on it.
