This podcast is a visit with Baylor Scott & White Health-College Station region president Jason Jennings and WTAW's Bill Oliver.

The first shipment of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine to College Station's Baylor Scott & White hospital arrived on Thursday.

President Jason Jennings says vaccinations begin Friday morning of health care workers taking care of patients, particularly those with COVID-19.

Jennings hopes to complete vaccinations by Christmas of the 195 doses that were received in the first shipment.

Jennings says dry ice kept a 66 pound container that looks like a large pizza box at minus 70 degrees Celsius (minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit).

The vaccine vials are now in a freezer that the hospital already had.

Jennings reminds everyone to continue preventative measures and to contact your health care provider when you start experiencing symptoms.
