From UK Now:
After receiving the Pfizer vaccine shipment on Tuesday morning at UK Chandler Hospital, five emergency department employees were the first to receive the vaccine about four hours later. In about a week, 1,950 front-line health care workers who either take care of COVID-19 patients or who are exposed to patients being ruled out for the virus, will receive the first dose of the two-dose vaccine.
UK HealthCare s allotment of the vaccine is among nearly 12,000 doses available in this week’s initial rollout for Kentucky’s health care workers.
