ANGLETON â The UTMB Health Angleton-Danbury campus is slated to receive the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine next week with health care workers receiving first dibs, hospital spokeswoman Tonya Visor said.
The recently developed vaccine will be prioritized for health care workers in the field and will not be available for public distribution as of Monday evening, Visor said.
âWe could not get them (this week) but we anticipate receiving them the week of the 21st,â Visor said. âThese are for tier-one hospital workers in the hospital. Those who daily are in the mix of COVID.â
Visor added future shipments will address the needs of first responders.
