MEMPHIS, Tennessee A momentous day for West Tennessee and a shot of hope as the first group of frontline workers received their first Pfizer vaccinations. The first vaccinations began Thursday morning at the Memphis VA Medical Center.
Nine months of working the frontline of the pandemic built up to this moment. This initial vaccine that we’re receiving is potentially the best PPE we can get people so I’m very excited about them taking this vaccine because it will add just a wonderful layer of protection to them as we take care of our veterans, Dr. Marvin Miller, Memphis VA Chief of Medical Services, said.
