The COVID-19 Vaccine's Arrival & Next Steps: A Message from Dr. Hudson

December 17, 2020 Swedish Communications

We are witnessing one of the greatest scientific accomplishments of our lifetime – a triumph of innovation, technology and collaboration over the most destructive pandemic we have faced as a modern society.

Just 48 hours ago Swedish received our first shipment of the COVID-19 vaccine. Since then, hundreds of caregivers have received the first dose.

Vaccinating our caregivers and providers is our first area of focus – so Swedish can safely serve our patients and turn our attention to the massive endeavor of vaccinating our community.

Please watch this brief video to hear more about what this achievement means for our caregivers.
