FedEx dropped off 3,900 doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine some of the first delivered in the state “a little earlier than anticipated” at 7:20 a.m., said Steve Fijalka, UW Medicine’s chief pharmacy officer.

The vaccine delivery, among the first in Washington state, is the local launch of a historic national effort to vaccinate as many of the country’s 330 million people as are willing to bare their arms. It could represent the turning point against the virus that has killed nearly 3,000 Washingtonians, hobbled the state’s economy and disrupted nearly every aspect of society.
