Nine months into the pandemic, the moment has arrived for Houston-area hospitals to receive their first shipments of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine. The much-anticipated shipments of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine left its facility in Michigan on Sunday and are slated to arrive at 145 distribution centers on Monday.
The rollout of the vaccine couldn't come soon enough, as the U.S. is set to record its 300,000th death due to COVID-19 this week, according to Johns Hopkins University.
