PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Dozens of healthcare workers at Philadelphia's Temple University Hospital received the Pfizer vaccine on Tuesday.
In Philadelphia, a total of 18,366 people have received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine as of December 29.
"The shot for me is because my mom, my grandmother and so many other family members have underlying conditions," said Temple Respiratory Therapist Shanti Welch. "They're older so I'll make the sacrifice and get the vaccine so I can call them and say, 'Hey its safe so take it.'"
In a press conference Tuesday, Dr. Thomas Farley said they'll continue vaccinated healthcare workers and will soon expand the vaccine rollout to congregate health facilities and nursing homes.
