SEATTLE, Wash. (AP) — Several Seattle hospitals rushed out COVID-19 vaccines to hundreds of people in the middle of the night after a freezer they were being stored in failed.
The Seattle Times reports that the vaccines needed to be used before they spoiled early Friday morning.
This man told Q-13 News that he traveled for an hour and a half to get a shot at Swedish Medical Center.
There were also long lines at UW Medical Center’s Northwest and Montlake campuses.
Those in charge say they were able to administer all the vulnerable vaccines.
No word on why the freezer failed.
