SANTA MONICA, CA — Providence Southern California, with 11 hospitals across three counties, including its facility in Santa Monica, will begin administering Pfizer vaccines to front-line caregivers this week.
"Not since the polio vaccine in the 1950s has the public so anxiously awaited an injection expected to conquer dreaded illness," Providence announced Monday. "Providence is eager to receive in the coming days its first shipment of the COVID-19 vaccines."
Following the vaccinations for health care workers, the group will follow federal recommendations on vaccines for vulnerable groups next in line for the sought after COVID-19 vaccine.
