HOUSTON – The first doses of the coronavirus vaccine at Houston’s Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center are set to be administered on Wednesday.
“We’re all very excited and we’re definitely ready to get rolling,” said Dr. Prathit Kulkarni, assistant chief of the medical care line.
The hospital received just under 3,000 doses, which will first go to frontline workers helping COVID-19 patients and veterans in the long-term care facility called the community living center, he said.
“Ultimately the plan will be to do all veterans and all staff, that’s the long-range ultimate goal,” Kulkarni said. “Obviously, we’re going to need more than 3,000 to do that.”
