PHOTO GALLERY: First COVID-19 vaccines administered at Mercy Washington
The first doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine were administered at Mercy Washington Tuesday, Dec. 15. Mercy Washington received enough doses to vaccinate the highest risk staff. Prior to receiving the vaccine, recipients were asked a short questionnaire and, afterwards, were asked to sit and wait for about 15 minutes so they could be monitored for any adverse reactions to the vaccine.
