Healthcare workers began receiving COVID-19 vaccinations Friday at IU Health Arnett, in the first phase of the state’s plan to inoculate Hoosiers against the coronavirus in the coming months.
Roughly several hundred people can be vaccinated at the facility per day. IU Arnett will vaccinate healthcare workers from Tippecanoe, Fountain, Warren, and Benton counties. The hospital received a shipment of 975 doses this week, with more expected to arrive next Tuesday.
“But we think there’s going to be more that’s in that shipment, because of the extra that’s in each vial,” said IU Health Arnett Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jim Bien, referring to reports that vaccine vials have been overfilled with additional doses. “We’re finding that’s true, that it appears that we’re getting more than the five doses from each vial, which is awesome. And we will not waste a dose.”
