Preparing for the arrival of COVID-19 vaccine
Officials said Delaware, which received 975 of its 8,775 pre-ordered doses from Pfizer, was one of the first states in the nation to receive initial doses of vaccine on Monday.
The Delaware Division of Public Health (DPH), which is coordinating the state s efforts to acquire and distribute the vaccine, expects to receive the remainder of the vaccine doses at its Kent County warehouse on Wednesday.
As the Pfizer vaccine is required to be kept at below-freezing temperatures, officials said DPH will store the doses it receives on Wednesday in its ultra-cold storage unit and will begin scheduling delivery to the remainder of the state s health care systems.
