The vaccine, intended at first for frontline health care workers, arrived at Deaconess Tuesday morning. Deaconess had already invited news organizations to attend a Wednesday morning event at Deaconess Gateway Hospital at which, it said, frontline medical professionals would be the first to be vaccinated.
