The Delaware Division of Public Health reported today that since Dec. 15, 8,422 doses of Covid-19 vaccine have been administered in Delaware.
The state has received 28,400 combined doses of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines. Both vaccines require two dozens spaced weeks apart.
All of the state’s hospital systems have received vaccines for staff, as have the Federally Qualified Health Centers.
Some long-term care facilities began vaccinations in the last two weeks, while waiting for the federal pharmacy partnership program in Delaware to kick off this week.
Last week Kent County Emergency Management Services vaccinated some of its staff, while more will be vaccinated this week. Both New Castle County and Sussex County EMS have plans to vaccinate staff this week as well.
Among those receiving the vaccine was President-elect Joe Biden, 78.
