BATON ROUGE - As soon as Monday, 9,375 doses of the Pfizer Biontech vaccine will be arriving in Louisiana for Ochsner Health. More than half of those doses are coming to the Baton Rouge hub on Jefferson Highway and will be deployed from there.
The doses will be transferred to an ultra-cold freezer and, based on schedules of who is getting the drug, will be taken out and either thawed and administered or put into cold storage. Once the vaccine is taken out of the ultra-cold freezer, Ochsner has five days to administer them. The first doses are reserved for health care personnel.
