System received its first batch of COVID-19 vaccines Tuesday morning, marking an important milestone in the hospitalâs battle against the virus.
Approximately 1,775 doses of the Pfizer-BionNTech COVID-19 vaccine arrived at Methodist Health System, all of which will be distributed to frontline workers across the systemâs three hospitals, including Methodist Fremont Health.
The doses of the vaccine that arrived in Fremont today represent some of the 15,600 Pfizer vaccines that are expected to arrive across the state by the end of the week.
Paula Danekas, pharmacy service executive at Methodist Hospital, said the process leading up to the vaccines arrival was unlike anything the hospital had done before.
