California hospital distributes 850 vaccines in 2.5 hours when refrigerator fails [SFGate, San Francisco]
Jan. 5 A Northern California hospital has shown it’s possible to get the COVID-19 vaccine into the arms of people fast.
Adventist Health Ukiah Valley Medical Center learned Monday morning the refrigerator holding Mendocino County’s most recent distribution of 850 Moderna vaccines had failed.
Racing to beat the clock before the vaccines spoiled, they successfully administered the entire supply in 2.5 hours in collaboration with the county’s health department and skilled nursing facilities.
Judson Howe, the financial officer for the medical center, said they aimed to issue the vaccine to high-risk individuals, but “the highest priority was making sure that nothing went to waste.”
