NEWS on COVID-19 in Georgia: Vaccines arrive in Georgia, first nurses vaccinated
“On the day the nation surpassed 300,000 deaths from COVID-19, the first doses of a vaccine designed to stop the pandemic landed on Georgia clay.
The Pfizer vaccine, developed with extraordinary speed and spectacular clinical results, was administered Monday to five Savannah nurses just two days after its authorization for emergency use by the Food and Drug Administration.
‘We’ve been dealing with this since January or February and looking for a light at the end of the tunnel,’ Dr. Lawton Davis, director of the state’s Coastal Health District, which received 5,850 doses Monday, said in a videotaped statement.
‘I think knowing we have the vaccine and we’re really beginning to distribute it…is just phenomenal.’”
