Brian Patrick, vice president of nursing for Good Shepherd, told the Hermiston Herald a few hours later that the morningâs rollout had gone well. He said staff were excited to receive the vaccine and begin to administer it to others. âThis is the part of the disaster response weâve been waiting for,â he said. Patrick said in Good Shepherdâs initial polling of staff, before the vaccine had become available to them, some had expressed some hesitancy about whether they wanted to be part of the first phase of the rollout, but now he is seeing many of those hesitant people ask to be added to the list as their confidence in it grows. He personally expressed confidence in the vaccineâs safety and effectiveness.
