At my institution, we appear to be on course for early January. High risk front line staff are currently receiving Pfizer's vaccine, with the remainder of the medical center forthcoming. Our ICU is over 95% capacity, so we're in a bit of trouble. The technician in my lab is an EMT as well, and will begin working directly with COVID patients this weekend. While the vaccine can't come soon enough, I am trying to remain cautiously optimistic. This is the first mRNA vaccine that has made it to large scale use. I've taught this stuff to medical students for years, so I'm very aware of the potential for unanticipated interactions and adverse consequences. Hopefully the benefits outweigh these in the long term.
