HSHS Wisconsin and its physician partner, Prevea Health, administered the first round of COVID-19 vaccines allotted to them by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) for frontline health care workers yesterday.
The first round of vaccines was provided to a number of frontline health care workers based in Green Bay for Prevea Health, HSHS St. Vincent Hospital and HSHS St. Mary’s Hospital Medical Center
The first to receive a vaccination was Kayla Kennedy, a critical care nurse at HSHS St. Vincent Hospital who provides direct care to some of the most vulnerable patients, including those with COVID-19. Kennedy was very proud to be a part of the process.
She said “It was very important to me to get vaccinated today so that I can continue to be there for my patients and my
family, and to set an example for all in our community the critical role vaccines play in preventing the spread of disease.”
Additional frontline health care workers at HSHS Wisconsin and Prevea Health locations in Green Bay will be vaccinated in the coming days.
