HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Hawaii’s largest COVID-19 vaccine shipment arrived Wednesday as the state’s multi-month vaccination campaign gets underway.
The state received 3,900 doses of Pfizer’s treatment and distributed them to hospitals across Oahu, including Hawaii Pacific Health locations.
Staff at Kapiolani Medical Center, Pali Momi and Straub Medical Center started getting shots on Wednesday, with employee vaccine clinics scheduled Thursday. Officials said spots filled up so fast that the hospitals expect to use all of its doses by Friday.
