The first COVID-19 vaccination in Delaware took place Tuesday morning, marking a significant turning point in the state s response to a pandemic that has infected more than 45,000 Delawareans and killed more than 800.
Elisabeth Cote, a progressive care unit nurse at Bayhealth Hospital s Kent Campus in Dover, received the shot sometime before 8 a.m. The governor s office announced the news in a press release with a video clip.
After receiving the shot Cote took a deep breath, lowered her shirt sleeve, stood up and walked away from where she had been sitting. This is a moment of hope for Delaware and for our country, Gov. John Carney said in a statement. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Carney, in answering a question from WDEL at Tuesday s coronavirus news conference, said:Â I m certainly not going to jump in line in front of hospitals or health care providers.
The first vaccinations were given to doctors and nurses at Bayhealth Hospital, which received a shipment of 975 doses of the state s 8,775 doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. Progressive care unit nurse Elisabeth Cote was the first Delawarean to be vaccinated Tuesday morning.
The governor said he d act upon advice from public health on when they recommend he get the vaccine. This is one of those matters similar to when we talked about the election. Most of the election work was done by staff so that I was up for election it would not be perceived as interfering with the election, he said. I ll let the public health officials identify the priority. Â
