LOS ANGELES (KABC) — As the first shipments of Pfizer’s authorized COVID-19 vaccine ship out from Michigan, about 83,000 doses are expected to arrive in Los Angeles County this week.
A FedEx plane carrying the region’s first shipments landed at Los Angeles International Airport Sunday night, according to the airport.
“The first batch of COVID-19 vaccine has arrived in Los Angeles at LAX,” the airport tweeted. “This is a major milestone for science, our country and our community. Thank you to all those who made this delivery possible, and are part of the incredible effort to distribute vaccines around the world.”
