Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland has begun administering its first doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.
A medical officer, Air Force Maj. Andrew Gausepohl, got the first shot, administered Monday at Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center, hours after the shipment arrived at 9:30 a.m.
A crowd of about 50 people watched and applauded as the needle went in, said Gausepohl, the 59th Medical Wing’s Family Emergency Center medical director.
