Some metro area hospitals received their first shipments of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine this week, though such distribution has not been across the board, and it will be at least several more weeks before vaccine doses are available to the general public.
Truman Medical Centers, Jackson County’s safety net hospital with locations at Lakewood and Hospital Hill, received its first shipment Monday and started to inoculate employees. Saint Luke’s East in Lee’s Summit reported its first employee vaccination on Thursday, also from Missouri’s first wave of shipments.
On the Kansas side of the metro area, the University of Kansas Medical Health System and hospitals in the HCA Midwest and Saint Luke’s systems received shipments from that state’s initial wave of vaccines.
