ST. LOUIS â Area hospitals, COVID-19 vaccine now in hand, began on Tuesday the herculean task of delivering doses into the arms of thousands of front-line staff, a job of crushing urgency.
Hospitals are already stretched. The number of coronavirus patients has doubled since the beginning of November and tripled since mid-October. Thatâs left health systems planning a vaccine rollout without enough hands to do the work. Mercy has already mobilized staff in other roles â pharmacists and administrators, for instance â to help deliver vaccinations. More than 100 SSM Health employees have volunteered for vaccine duty. BJC HealthCare is looking to partners at Washington University to help out.
