The health and safety of our staff is our top priority, and we remain steadfast in our determination to fight the good fight for our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <u>Luis, on the front-line of the COVID-19 pandemic, receives 1<\/u><br \/>\n        <sup><br \/>\n          <u>st<\/u><br \/>\n        <\/sup><br \/>\n        <u> vaccine from Renown<\/u>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Luis Martinez received the 1<sup>st<\/sup> of his Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine which received emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration last week. He will receive the second and final vaccination in the series in 21 days.<\/p>\n<p>The first dose of vaccine was given to Luis outside of his vehicle so cameras could capture the experience. Renown\u2019s COVID-19 Vaccination process includes pre-scheduling physicians and employees through the EPIC MyChart electronic medical record used by Renown. Employees are masked, and in their personal vehicles, as they drive through the vaccination site. Each physician and healthcare worker provides their verification, identification, documentation and consent. They then extend their upper arm to receive the Pfizer vaccination. Following the receipt of the vaccination they have a 15-minute observation period to assure they do not experience any immediate side effects.<\/p>\n<p>These Tier 1A healthcare employees were encouraged to schedule their vaccination after their completed work schedule to have time to rest. As with all vaccinations, there is a potential for injection site reactions (redness, swelling and pain) as well as fever, fatigue, headache, chills, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain and\/or joint pain. Fever is not an infrequent side effect, especially on the 2nd dose, so these vaccinated employees will self-monitor their temperatures, as they cannot work at Renown with a fever.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Luis, you\u2019ll see, first in his truck- Dr. Bret Frey, representing the Medical Staff and Emergency Medicine physicians at Renown; Nurse Matt Polak, Supervisor of Clinical Nursing of Renown\u2019s Respiratory Intensive Care Unit representing Renown nurses; Holly Irwin, a Clinical Respiratory Therapist; Alexis Bertauche, Respiratory Specialist; Eric Whitney, the supervisor representing the 168 members of Renown\u2019s Environmental Services team who have performed extensive disinfecting measures throughout the pandemic, physician representatives from partners at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=BHidellkPvNj9d6aSPTWOMA2YviscMcwQhMXEZafRPOJcJpS9laYef1tXrJxA_PkiuVjkHM02_slbXFXxnCWfl7HKs2SMQQSWuZfH5cISb0OhyUK6mneGB-0dyvMJ7nf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">UNR School of Medicine<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=bOTpGpda042RBzeCGhwPuf06_-vQ96UwpyJ3nkPC8PzQzqlyeqj-_xJgVlSy26gqLoNKe5Kj1zY5IRu1MIoQk741bYM0dF1p1xBcxRGEJ5I=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Reno Orthopedic Clinic<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=Z-VTxmSYL0qPVvfbqHTGTYRYXBjoP2Z5a9Is6fDLGzTN4-eyzdUFVvDl2-aq6pkeRY-zRLnS2F0wtQByFR2VUg4emo8aQZ6CT-Me8UWi2xiODXCwT8lOSOlkfGmq489k\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Surgery Center of Reno<\/a> and across the community.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <u>Brighter days ahead for Luis<\/u>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Luis has been working in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=6KaDO6W_OAACZh0Gv6WL6LHwIlrZtMdiooeEpJuXFfap-xXVfSnhm86eT_5bx5FlO_lYCNZKk8Er4WoW1fvXXcsHSH3xc5OgI_yD8eSiBzJfGk2zhlVNavNwGRIVvyUFx1NUc2P8MFSQtUMfeVqrZKYbesk3YUi9Ys9OXkA8R4IryO5X5EWCKcvd8tUHzfsEyyHrnlEScHV3iPTWSIafVw==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Renown\u2019s Alternate Care Site<\/a> in the Mill Street parking structure since it opened to patients in mid-November.
