Leaders of Capital Region hospitals gathered at Albany Medical Center Tuesday afternoon to give an update on COVID-19 and vaccine distribution efforts.
Albany Med President and CEO Dr. Dennis McKenna says to date close to a thousand people have been vaccinated on the hospital campus. A little over a week ago five healthcare workers at Albany Med became the first in the region to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine. McKenna says the vaccine is safe and effective, and urged everyone to take the shot as soon as it is made available to them. This is the beginning of the end of the pandemic. When enough of us receive our vaccine in the region we can resume life as we knew it.
