Madison, W.- UW Health Monday It took a few hours to go from delivery to vaccination.
The first group of leading workers was vaccinated after 2:30 p.m.
“(They) will be monitored for a short time after vaccination to ensure that there are no adverse effects,” Dr. Matt Anderson said. “Then, they’ll go there and get a follow-up in three weeks.”
Anderson is the Senior Medical Director of Primary Medicine at UW Health. He said the hospital has a vaccination program for all staff who want to stay.
“We have determined that staff working in areas with high frequency, duration or intensity of exposure to COVID-19 patients will be the first to be called to plan,” Anderson said.

Those leading workers are in large numbers in the UW. Pharmacology manager Aaron Webb said the DHS was part of a team that chose to send nearly 4,000 doses, 10 percent of its initial delivery, to the hospital immediately.
“One is because of our initial capacity to store the vaccine, as well as the number of suppliers who will be assigned the vaccine within Group 1A,” Webb said.
The vaccine is stored in ultra cold freezers at -60 to -80 செல் C.
“We need to constantly monitor the temperature through that transportation and storage process,” Webb said.
SSM Health expects to receive its levels before tomorrow.
Unity Point Health expects its shipments to arrive later in the week.
