With the arrival of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines to our hospitals, Ballad Health has been administering vaccinations at an impressive rate to team members and some community members. Our points of dispensing (PODs) and community vaccination centers (CVCs) have given nearly 31,000 vaccinations so far!
Pulling off such a project is no small feat, but our all-hands-on-deck approach to getting as many people vaccinated as possible has been impressive. Thanks to all team members who’ve been involved in this massive (and lifesaving) vaccination campaign!
Check out these comments from those who’ve been to the PODs and CVCs for vaccinations:
“These PODs are just amazing. The flow, the efficiency, the sheer capacity, it’s just mind-blowing. Got my 2nd one Saturday at JCMC & the process was just a work of art! Bravo to all involved!!”
“I must say, I was impressed with Bristol’s process.”
“The POD at BRMC did an amazing job. Very efficient, accommodating, and went above and beyond for the patients.”
“Just went to The Wellness Center with my mom, very organized and those working there were so sweet with all those seniors.”
“The person who made our appointment at the Urgent Care and the whole crew at The Wellness Center were so very nice, caring and capable! The process was very organized and smooth. Thanks!”
“I was blown away by the efficiency and overall process at JCMC for both my vaccinations. Friendly, easy to understand, and surprisingly quick. Excellent job, Ballad!! (We joked that perhaps Ballad consulted Chick-fil-A prior to rollout of this process. Yes – it was that well-organized!)”
“JMH was equally awesome!”
“So impressed with how well-run this was at BRMC!”
“Great experience both times at HVMC POD. Thank you for helping us fight COVID.”
“They’ve done a fabulous job!! I called it the vaccine machine!! They’ve thought of everything, and everyone I encountered at each step had a joyful spirit and were all so kind!! You’d think everyone would be burdened and tired (and I’m sure they are), but no one showed it! Thank you, Ballad, for all you do!”
“I have been impressed with the rollout of vaccine in Upper East Tennessee. Thank you, Ballad, for working with local healthcare providers and the local health departments.”
“It was so organized when I had my shot. Very well thought-out!”
“I took my mother and two aunts who are all in their 80s today to The Wellness Center. In and out in 15 minutes, no problems! Thank you, Ballad!”
“My parents got theirs yesterday as they have a Ballad provider. Said it was easy, seamless, and theyare so appreciative of Ballad Health for doing this. So am I.”
“Jamie Swift & her team have done a fabulous job organizing everything so far!! Keep up the good work!!”
