Broward Health North began inoculating its team of frontline caregivers with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on Monday, December 21, 2020.

James McCrae, R.N., and nurse manager of the Critical Care Unit, was the first frontline healthcare worker at Broward Health North to be vaccinated. McCrae, a veteran who dutifully served in the United States Army, has worked at Broward Health North for more than 20 years, having worked his way up the ranks to now oversee his unit. He was vaccinated by longtime co-worker Rosietta Da Silva, an ICU nurse.
 
McCrae wanted to be the first to receive the vaccine to show his team they had nothing to fear and that being vaccinated better protects frontline workers and the community.
