Since receiving the Pfizer vaccine Dec. 14, Delaware has vaccinated 750 healthcare workers across the state.
Delaware’s six health systems, and three sites of one long-term care organization were all part of the vaccine’s phased rollout.
The 750 vaccines administered are current as of noon Dec. 18, officials said, and the number will change as more frontline workers receive the vaccine. Up-to-date totals are expected to be posted at de.gov/healthycommunity in the coming days.
“Our frontline healthcare workers continue to lead by example, and I want to thank all of those Delawareans who rolled up their sleeves this week and received the vaccine,” said Gov. John Carney in a press release. “Your hard work and leadership will get us through this crisis. As our healthcare workers know, we continue to face a winter surge of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.”
