As the first round of COVID-19 vaccines reach New York, Stony Brook Medicine is informing the community about vaccine development and pushing to become a distribution center in Suffolk County within the coming months.
The Dean of the School of Medicine and Senior Vice President for Health Sciences, Kenneth Kaushansky, told the Faculty Senate on Dec. 7 that the hospital requested 9,600 doses of the vaccine to be administered to their staff, from the first batch from Pfizer, a vaccine manufacturer. However, they will receive only around 1,000 vaccines to be distributed to staff in the intensive care unit (ICU) and emergency department.
