The first shipment of COVID-19 vaccine arrived in Petersburg Thursday afternoon and the Petersburg Medical Center planned to start giving the first shots soon after.
Medical center employees met Alaska Airlines flight 64 to receive the community’s initial allocation, a box of 220 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
“PMC staff is very excited to receive the vaccine today,” said Jennifer Bryner, the hospital’s chief nursing officer. “We’re thankful the jet made it in and our staff are very anxious to be able to immunize the residents to make sure that they are protected against COVID-19 and then to receive the vaccine so they are protected as well.”
