Mercy Hospital Jefferson in Crystal City is scheduled to receive its first shipment of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on Tuesday (Dec. 15) and then begin administering it to hospital staff, possibly the same day, Mercy spokesman Joe Poelker said.
The Jefferson County Health Department does not expect to receive any of the Pfizer vaccines being shipped across the country and the state.
However, Health Department officials hope to receive the Moderna vaccine once it is approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA), said Jeana Vidacak, public health preparedness coordinator for the Health Department.
Vidacak said the Health Department does not have the proper refrigerators to store the Pfizer vaccine.
