ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. More than a week after the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was first shipped to medical facilities around the country, St. Johns County s Flagler Health+ received its first doses.
Flagler Health+ gave the county’s first vaccines to hospital staff on Tuesday after it received a shipment of almost 2,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine.
The hospital’s hope was to give out the first dose of the two-step vaccination to all of its “first tier” healthcare employees or those working closely with COVID-19 patients. In all, about 350 workers received the first dose of the vaccine Tuesday.
