RICHMOND, Va. (AP) At least two Virginia health systems on Monday received initial doses of the newly approved COVID-19 vaccine, which will be administered to their workers.
Gov. Ralph Northam visited a Bon Secours hospital in Richmond that he said had received one of the state’s first shipments of the vaccine made by Pfizer Inc. and its German partner BioNTech. Norfolk-based Sentara Healthcare also announced it had received 11,700 doses that arrived early Monday morning by FedEx.
“These initial doses of the COVID-19 vaccine are a much-needed symbol of hope for our Commonwealth and our country,” Northam said in a statement. “With this remarkable medical achievement, we are beginning to see the light at the end of a long, dark tunnel.”
