Please note that some audio has been muted for privacy. Join Jessica as she receives her first of two doses of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine alongside Garrett County Health Department’s Director of Nursing, Jennifer Lee-Steckman. Garrett County’s healthcare heroes are lining up to take the COVID-19 vaccine as we prepare for additional phases in the community vaccination process.  This video highlights the administration of the COVID-19 Vaccine for two individuals: one with allergy concerns, and one without, explaining the administration processes for both, and the additional precautions our team takes to make the vaccination process as safe as possible. As we prepare for the upcoming community vaccination process, we encourage everyone to consider taking the COVID-19 Vaccine when it becomes available to them, in order to protect themselves and each other. Stay tuned for follow-up videos as Jessica shares her post-vaccination experience. P.S.
