Meharry leader says medical college somehow didn t get first wave of COVID-19 vaccines Adam Tamburin, Nashville Tennessean
Dr. James Hildreth, Meharry Medical College president and a leading voice in the fight against the coronavirus, criticized Tennessee s COVID-19 vaccine roll-out, which didn t allocate the first wave of doses to small hospitals or health care providers.
Hildreth said HCA Heathcare shared some of its COVID-19 vaccine allocation with Meharry after the historically black college in Nashville was somehow left off Tennessee s distribution list for the first shipment of Pfizer vaccine doses.
Hildreth said the doses from HCA would go to front line healthcare providers. A Meharry spokesperson said about 100 doses would be targeted to college staff providing care in local clinics.
