“We want to make it as easy and convenient as possible for everyone age 16 and older to get the vaccine,” said Sarah Kahalley, MSHA, BSN, RN, director of clinical resources for USA Health Physician Group. “We use the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which is available for those age 16 and up.”
As of April 20, USA Health staff members have given more than 62,000 vaccines for COVID-19. Vaccinations began on Dec. 15, 2020, when healthcare workers at University Hospital and Children’s & Women’s Hospital received the first doses of the vaccine in the Mobile region.
In January 2021, USA Health expanded its partnership with the City of Mobile to include drive-through vaccine clinics at the Mobile Civic Center Arena. Drive-through testing for COVID-19 continues nearby at the Expo Hall.
