Baylor St. Luke s Critical Care Chief Dr. Pat Herlihy receives the Pfizer-BioNTech s Covid-19 vaccine.
The first Houstonians have gotten the Covid-19 vaccine. The first shipment of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine rolled into the Bayou City Monday at M.D. Anderson, with more hospitals in the area receiving their own shipments Tuesday.
In a Monday press conference, Mayor Sylvester Turner encouraged hospitals to not wait to dole out the vaccine, but to immediately start immunizing their health care workers, who are the first to receive it, according to the allocation tier system. And Houstonâs hospitals did not miss their shot.Â
