Inside the first chaotic days of the effort to vaccinate America
SalonOne tray of COVID-19 vaccine from pharmaceutical giant Pfizer contains 975 doses — way too many for a rural hospital in Arkansas. The federal government had divvied up nearly 8 million doses of Pfizer and Moderna's vaccines to distribute this week, on top of roughly 3 million Pfizer shots that were sent last week, said Army Gen. Gustave Perna, chief operating officer of the Trump administration's Operation Warp Speed effort. Georgia's Coastal Health District, which oversees public health for eight counties and has offices in Savannah and Brunswick, spent more than $27,000 on two ultra-cold freezers for the Pfizer vaccine, which it's treating "like gold," said Dr. Lawton Davis, its health director. "A lot of that vaccine is destined for institutional facilities," Sean Dickson, director of health policy for West Health Policy Center, said of the Pfizer shots. Washington, on the other hand, allows hospitals without ultra-cold freezers to temporarily store Pfizer vaccines in the thermal boxes they arrive in, said Franji Mayes, spokesperson for the state's health department.
