Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey received the first of two doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on Monday afternoon at Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery. Registered Nurse Donna Pugh administered the shot.

Ivey praised the scientists, medical professionals and the Trump administration for their commitment to creating and distributing a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine. State Health Officer Dr. Scott Harris and State Chief Health Medical Officer Dr. Mary McIntyre also received a dose of the vaccine.

The second dose of the Pfizer vaccine is given three weeks after the first. Health care officials have said the first dose provides a level of protection and lessens the severity of COVID-19 should a person become infected before receiving the second shot.
