Florida’s AdventHealth Could Begin Distributing COVID-19 Vaccines as Early as Monday

As the cases of COVID-19 are resurging through the holidays, we’ve been watching along with the news closely on the vaccine progress. We’ve learned that Walt Disney World’s health partner, AdventHealth in Orlando, could begin distributing COVID-19 vaccines as early as Monday.

 

As shared by Fox35Orlando: COVID-19 vaccinations could be distributed within a matter of days, as AdventHealth believes with FDA approval, they can begin doing so on Monday or Tuesday.

AdventHealth will be one of the first hospitals in the state to get vaccines. Dr.  Steven Smith said that “vaccine distribution would occur very rapidly, so we’re anticipating potentially as early as Monday or Tuesday of next week.”

Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine reportedly must be kept at 70 degrees Celsius. Thankfully though, AdventHealth can store them at this temperature and does not think they will have to do so long, as Dr. Smith added that “we’re going to get them in, get them out and then another shipment will follow that.”
