LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) Arkansas on Monday began administering its first doses of the coronavirus vaccine as the state reported 45 more deaths from the illness caused by the virus.
Five health care workers, including the state’s surgeon general, were the first to be vaccinated during a news conference at the Arkansas Health Department. The first person vaccinated was Sherian Kwanisai, the department’s nursing director for local public health.
“I’m excited,” said Kelley Garner, program manager with the department’s Healthcare Acquired Infections Program, who was the second to get vaccinated. “I know this is the first step to getting back to normal.”
