Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine arrives at Henry Ford Health System this week.
Increasingly over the past few days, more health systems in Michigan are beginning to receive a steady flow of Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine shipments and inoculation efforts have expanded across the state for front-line health care workers.
Five of McLaren Health Care s 15 hospitals on Thursday morning received UPS shipments of vaccines totaling 5,850 doses, said Barton Buxton, president and CEO of McLaren Health Management Group, who is coordinating vaccine efforts. They all came in at once. . There are no promises (of how many). You ask for doses. We asked (the state) for more than 30,000 for our 15 hospitals in the first delivery wave. We asked for the same number for the second delivery, Buxton said.
