Dec 11, 2020 NEWBURYPORT â An Anna Jaques Hospital official said on Thursday the Highland Avenue complex is expected to receive its first shipment of the highly anticipated Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine as early as next week. The announcement comes on the same day the federal Food and Drug Administration was expected to give emergency authorization for the two-dose coronavirus vaccine. Within hours of the expected authorization, the vaccine will be distributed across the country under the federal government's Operation Warp Speed initiative. Anna Jaques staff will be prepared to help vaccinate the community and support the vaccine distribution process as long as is necessary.Â
