Despite the first 3,900 doses of Pfizerâs COVID-19 vaccine arriving at Baylor Scott & White on Tuesday, the hospital system stressed that residents need to remain vigilant.Â
âThat is something that we do have to stress because the vaccine is just one tool in a tool kit,â said Dr. Stephen Sibbitt, chief medical officer for Baylor Scott & WhiteâTemple region. âWe absolutely endorse the continued use of masks, physical distancing, staying away from crowds and washing your hands.â
But the Bell County Public Health District took that guidance a step further on Wednesday and discouraged non-essential travel, as it identified its 141st COVID-19 related death.
