The city is receiving 4,000 doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
The City of Cleveland is rolling out the first phase of its coronavirus vaccine distribution plan. The initial round will begin Thursday with a focus on EMTs, firefighters and Airport Fire & Rescue workers.
The city is receiving 4,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine, said Interim Public Health Director Brian Kimball. That vaccine can be stored in regular laboratory refrigeration as opposed to the subzero temperatures needed for the Pfizer vaccine, which was the first to receive emergency use authorization from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.
The vaccines require two doses and officials plan to administer the first doses to roughly 1,200 eligible emergency responders in a six-day period, Kimball said. The plan is to expand to cover other populations later.
