State Leaders Call It ‘A Historic Day’ As First Oklahomans Receive COVID-19 Vaccine
State leaders said it’s a historic day in the fight against COVID-19 as the first Oklahoman received her first dose of the Pfizer Vaccine today.
Several other front-line healthcare workers were also vaccinated in OKC today.
“This vaccine is a big piece of the puzzle, but we still need to keep doing our part,” said Governor Kevin Stitt.
St. Francis expects to start distributing the vaccine in Tulsa tomorrow.
State Health Leaders said they hope to have 166,000 doses of the vaccine by the end of the year, which means 166,000 Oklahomans will be one step closer in being protected against the virus.
