The first shipments of the COVID-19 vaccine left a Pfizer plant in Michigan Sunday morning, starting the United States most complex vaccine distribution project ever. Workers near Kalamazoo clapped and whistled as freight trucks were filled with dry ice coolers carrying the pizza-boxed sized cartons of vaccine vials. The trucks left the Pfizer factory shortly after 6:30 a.m. with the first of nearly three million doses. This set of vials is expected to arrive in all 50 states on Monday, and a larger shipment will arrive Tuesday. The vaccine, kept at sub-Arctic temperatures, will be shuttled by plane to UPS in Louisville and Fed-Ex in Memphis, where they will then be trucked or flown to the facilities chosen to receive the first doses. The long-awaited moment comes as hospitalizations hit record highs for the seventh day in a row Sa
