23:36Now PlayingFlorida has received COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and has already given its first dose.
FedEx and UPS filled planes and trucks with Pfizer's vaccine over the weekend to bring doses to over 600 locations across the U.S. Florida will receive nearly 180,000 doses.
Governor DeSantis confirmed during a news conference on Monday morning at Tampa General Hospital that they have received some of the first doses and will have the full first batch by Tuesday morning.
20,000 of the nearly 180,000 doses reportedly will go to AdventHealth. Another 81,900 doses will go to CVS and Walgreens to give to patients at long-term care facilities. Then, 97,500 doses will go to five separate hospital systems.
After speaking, Governor DeSantis stood by as the first vaccination from Tampa General Hospital was given. The dose went to a frontline nurse.
Officials confirmed that all of the vaccine allotments for week one are already assigned and that for next week, Florida should get more than twice as many -- between 300,000 and 500,000 vaccines.
The rollout of the Pfizer vaccine, the first to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration, ushers in the biggest vaccination effort in U.S. history — one that health officials hope the American public will embrace, even as some have voiced initial skepticism or worry.
The first U.S. vaccination was given on Monday morning to a New York nurse.
