The wait for COVID-19 vaccines is over, though it will be a while longer before vaccines are available for the general public.
The state this week received its first shipment of nearly 32,000 doses of the vaccine developed by Pfizer Inc. and its German partner BioNTech. Frontline health care workers at hospitals across the state were the first to receive the vaccine.
