When Urban Health Plan, a community health center in New York, found out that they were getting the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine, things happened fast.
Once they learned that they’d been approved for the vaccine, they received word that all vaccine orders needed to be placed by the following morning. A week later, they heard that the vaccine was on its way.
