At 11 am, a group of frontline healthcare workers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, and Ontario’s St. Alphonsus Medical Center received the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine on camera. They included intensive care unit nurses, doctors, and hospital housekeepers. (Technically, this didn't mark the state's first coronavirus vaccinations—that occurred at 9 am Wednesday at St. Alphonsus, sans cameras.)
