The first person in Onondaga County received the COVID-19 vaccine today as caseloads in the region remain at record highs.
Syracuse University Assistant Professor of Public Health Brittany Kmush says it’s a remarkable culmination of scientific collaboration across academic, pharmaceutical, and technology settings.
I think a lot of people don t really appreciate how much effort was needed to get this vaccine moving so quickly.
