NEWS on COVID-19 in Idaho: Idaho doctors receive first doses of COVID-19 vaccine
“Dr. Jack Clark, an internal medicine doctor at Madison Memorial Hospital in Rexburg, became the second Idahoan to get the COVID-19 vaccine on Monday.
The hospital is the first facility in the state to receive and offer doses of the Pfizer vaccine to several frontline workers.
Clark was not the first Idahoan to receive the vaccine: that honor falls to Dr. Russel Mcune of Rexburg, an emergency room physician who works with COVID-19 patients regularly.
Although he has been at the Rexburg hospital for three and a half years, Clark has been working in the intensive care and COVID-19 units for the past eight months.
Nearly ten months into the COVID-19 pandemic, Idaho is finally receiving shipments of the vaccine. 13,650 doses are expected to arrive in the Gem State by the end of this week.
Clark has been studying the coronavirus and the vaccine since February. He got a look at the Pfizer brief explaining how the vaccine works and was medically impressed with how it was developed.”
