Employees at UW Medical Center-Montlake and Swedish Hospital’s First Hill campus in Seattle were among the first people who to receive the Pfizer vaccine.

She said afterward: “For the first time in a while, I feel hope.” While the initial doses in Washington state will go to health workers and people in long-term care facilities, it will be months before it is available to much of the broader population.
