December 18, 2020
The first dose of the Pfizer vaccine was given to several healthcare workers Friday afternoon.
Around 25 workers from different departments at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital lined up anxiously to get the vaccine.
“Without a doubt, this is what we need. It has been such a long time coming,” said West Tennessee Healthcare President and CEO James Ross.
“I’ve seen several pass, then seen a whole lot recover from it and go home, but it’s just sad about how many have passed away from this,” said Lynn Jones, the first person to receive the vaccine in Jackson.
