Updated Dec 15, 2020;
Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine arrived in Worcester earlier than anticipated Tuesday morning at UMass Memorial Health Care.
At about 5 a.m., a spokesperson for UMass Memorial shared a photo that showed the expected delivery of the vaccine was 10:30 a.m. By 9 a.m., a FedEx employee rolled a box that contained the vaccine through the hallways of the hospital.
The vaccine is expected to be distributed at the hospital on Thursday to all staff members who work in areas of the hospital system highly exposed to the virus, including the DCU Center field hospital as well as UMass Memorial Medical Center’s coronavirus unit, emergency department and critical care unit.
