(Reuters) -Pfizer Inc and partners have delivered the first COVID-19 vaccines to 141 of 145 locations targeted by the U.S. government for the first day of a nationwide rollout on Monday, a Department of Health and Human Services spokeswoman said.
Healthcare facilities in four island territories – American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the North Mariana Islands and Guam – are still awaiting their supplies, the spokeswoman told Reuters.
The COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and German partner BioNTech SE was authorized by U.S. regulators for emergency use late on Friday, and the first shipments were sent out on Sunday.
