The first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine were being administered in the Central McLean area Dec. 23 as staff and patients at CHI Turtle Lake Hospital started receiving the first dose of the Moderna vaccine Wednesday morning. The hospital received its first 40 doses of the first part of the vaccine, which will first go to staff members and patients.
“First it will go to front-line care workers – nurses and nurses’ aides,” said Jessie Martin, Director of Nursing at the Turtle Lake Hospital.
Then the vaccine will be administered to the patients at the healthcare center.
