LONGVIEW, Texas The first doses of the Pfizer vaccine arrived at hospitals in the CHRISTUS Health System last week.
Todd Hancock president and CEO said after administering the vaccine to hospital staff went well, they wanted to begin the next phase. We work so closely with our first responders, in our hospitals every day, they are truly our partners, Hancock said. We really welcome this milestone, this transition to vaccinate them because we consider them true heroes.
On Wednesday, first responders were administered the vaccine. Detective Dusty Seay with the Longview Police Department said the process was quick.
