Coronavirus Vaccine Doses Arrive in Louisville, Kentucky

A UPS plane carrying some of the first doses of the coronavirus vaccine touched down in Louisville, Kentucky, on Sunday, December 13, as a nationwide distribution effort began.

This footage was filmed by staff at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport in Kentucky. UPS said in a tweet that the shipment arrived at its Worldport facility on Sunday, where vaccine doses “will be sorted and distributed as early as tomorrow.”

The vaccine, developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, was the first approved by US officials, and the first doses were scheduled to be administered on Monday, according to Army Gen. Gustave Perna, the chief operating officer of Operation Warp Speed. Both UPS and FedEx were involved in shipping the vaccine. Credit: @FlyLouisville via Storyful
