GALVESTON, Texas – The first coronavirus vaccine has arrived in the Houston area, including UTMB Galveston and other local hospitals. Frontline workers at UTMB were among the first to receive the vaccination, about three hours after the hospital received its shipment of the Pfizer vaccine. A nurse who has been working with coronavirus patients was the first UTMB employee to receive the shot, followed by an intensive care unit doctor. “The shot didn’t hurt more than any other shot,” said nurse Roy Christian. As the vaccine begins to make its way to Houston and across the US, it will likely be months before doses are widely available for everyone at U.S. drugstores and doctors’ offices.
