COVID-19 vaccinations for frontline health care employees in north Alabama will start Wednesday morning and also be made available to physicians’ offices and emergency medical responders, a Huntsville Hospital spokesman said Monday.

The hospital is expecting 6,825 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to arrive Tuesday, hospital Senior Vice President Tracy Doughty said.

Another dose will be required in 21 days for full inoculation. The first-round doses are coming from the state, which is also holding the follow-up doses until they are needed. According to other AL.com reporting, half of the first doses will be allocated to hospital health care workers, 15 percent for EMS workers, 15 percent for physician offices, and 20 percent for other hospital staff.

Doughty briefed reporters late Monday on Huntsville’s plan. As a example of early vaccinations, Doughty cited the staff at the hospital’s Fever and Flu Clinic, which has been testing people for the virus

The US public will start receiving the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine from Monday after it was authorised for emergency use, officials say.

The first doses of the vaccine were being shipped “across all states” over the weekend, said Gen Gustave Perna, the official in charge of distribution.

The vaccine offers up to 95% protection against Covid-19 and was deemed safe by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The FDA said its approval for use was a “significant milestone” in the crisis.

The US agency authorised the emergency use of the Pfizer/BioNTech on Friday, after coming under intense pressure from the Trump administration to do so.

During a news conference on Saturday, Gen Perna – speaking for the government’s vaccination campaign Operation Warp Speed – said doses of the vaccine were being packed into shipping containers for transportation “within the next 24 hours”.

“Expect 145 sites across the states to receive the

Although many of the 10 provinces have already clamped down on businesses and limited gatherings as numbers continue to spike, chief public health officer Theresa Tam said more action was needed to reduce pressure on the healthcare system as hospitalizations soar.

“The current daily case count far exceeds the peak of the first wave … There is little indication that this upward trajectory will change without further intensifying public health measures,” she
