Alexis Scott was in Huntsville where she learned more about what vaccine distribution will look like for us.
Vaccine as one health leader thinks we need.
Waay 31's alexis scott joins us live from huntsville hospital.
She learned more about what vaccine distribution will look like for us.
Alexis... the c-e-0 for huntsville hospital told me he initially wanted to get enough vaccine to treat entire hospitals, then nursing homes, and then the rest of the community.
But he says the amount we get may be far less than what they can work with to move as fast as leaders would like.
When we get an approved vaccine it'll be made available in a tiered system with frontline workers getting it first.
"if you asked me how many doses i would have liked round one, probably 30,000...enough to vaccinate virtually everybody in our hospitals and start getting it out at our clinics.
A realistic number probably would have been half that.
We'll probably get far less than that.
I do not know what that number will be right now," spillers said the hospital will get more vaccines on a daily basis but will only be able to treat a certain number of people every day.
