(KLZA)--Community Medical Center in Falls City is among the more than 100 Nebraska hospitals and health facilities expected to receive the new coronavirus vaccine.
CMC Administrator Ryan Larsen explained during his weekly update that CMC is following state guidelines in how the vaccine is administered. Healthcare workers that actually take care of patients will be first to receive the vaccine.
Larsen said it's important to have staff members that are healthy to take care of patients that come to the hospital.
As far as others getting vaccinated, Larsen says the hospital is not in charge of the plan for getting the vaccinations to nursing home workers and residents. He says as more doses of the vaccine are received over the coming weeks and months, people will be contacted by their doctors office.
Larsen said he is grateful to the scientists, government officials and others who have helped make this happen and the important phase three trials that were required to make sure the vaccine is safe.
