The chief quality officer at U-W Health was the first to receive an injection of a potential COVID-19 vaccine as part of a clinical trial Wednesday.
Doctor Jeff Pothof says because his professional life has been consumed by the virus over the last few months, he felt called to be a part of the solution.
Two dozen more people will receive the vaccine today (Thursday) and Friday, with 16 hundred volunteers becoming part of the program over the next eight weeks.
A spokesperson for the Madison medical facility says more than a thousand people have inquired about the clinical trial since it was announced earlier this week.
