The Dothan Eagle on Pfizerâs COVID-19 vaccine:
The long-awaited Pfizer vaccine against coronavirus began arriving at the first of 15 sites in Alabama on Monday, marking the first hopeful steps on a long journey back to normality.
For most Alabamians, an opportunity for inoculation may still be months away. Only 40,950 doses are to arrive this week, and will be spread among pre-identified hospitals equipped with the ultra-cold storage necessary for the vaccine. Then the vaccines will be offered in phases to Alabamians in predetermined tiers, beginning with front-line health care workers. Thatâs the obvious best practice, considering health care workers have the highest risk of exposure.

It was a year that changed everything.
In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of Arizona responded swiftly to the challenges presented by an unprecedented public health crisis. The entire Wildcat community – from virologists to public health experts to psychologists and everyone in between – contributed their time, energy and expertise to help the university and the nation with life-saving safety efforts and long-term mitigation strategies.
In between, the world watched as UArizona researchers tagged an asteroid, explored previously unanswered questions about the Maya civilization and, yes, figured out what s up with all those crane flies.
