UPS Worldport facility begins distribution of vaccine
On Sunday, shipments of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine began arriving at United Parcel Service’s massive Worldport facility in Louisville, Kentucky, the first leg of the massive logistics operation to distribute the life-saving cure for COVID-19 to the United States’ population.
The vaccine is being distributed to at least 636 locations throughout the country, according to Army General Gustave Perna, the Chief Operating Officer of President Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed. Hundreds of doctor’s offices, CVS and Walgreen’s pharmacies throughout the United States received the vaccine on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. In addition to UPS, FedEx is also heavily involved in the movement of the vaccine to different locations in the US.
