The first shipment of the COVID-19 vaccine arrived today at Prowers Medical Center, according to hospital Chief Executive Officer, Karen Bryant. “The hospital has received 175 doses of the Pfizer vaccine and we expect 100 doses of the Moderna vaccine will also be forthcoming once it has been approved for general distribution by the Food and Drug Administration,” she explained. Bryant said Prowers County Public Health is also expecting their first shipment from Pfizer as well with a similar number of doses. The hospital CEO said all of these doses are provided at no cost.
