Private practices prepare to get COVID-19 vaccines as larger hospital systems begin administering doses December 18, 2020 DELAWARE – COVID-19 vaccines are finally here, and some of Delmarva’s hospital systems are busy administering the first doses. But private practices say they’re also hoping to get their hands on the vaccine, too. That way they can protect themselves and their patients. “We know that obviously right now there is a limited number. How do we know that we’re going to be able to get it? How do we know that there’s going to be enough for us? It’s a tough situation to be in,” said owner of Millsboro’s Pearl Clinic Dr. Sherin Howett.
