YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

“We got 20 doses,” said Dr. Manny Rodriguez, a pediatrician at Southeast Denver Pediatrics, which sees thousands of patients.

“We already had a mini-clinic. We were approved to use it Friday. We had a mini-clinic Saturday at noon. Monday – we’re out of most doses already. Just flying off the shelves," he said.
