The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine arrived in Iowa yesterday and health care workers at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics become the first people in the state to receive doses of the vaccine. Some hospital employees took to social media to share their experiences being inoculated — quick and painless — and encourage others to get vaccinated when one becomes available to the public.

History has a beginning a middle and an end. This is the beginning, the end is eradication of #COVID19. As more doses become available please take the #CovidVaccine and support efforts to disseminate this worldwide. https://t.co/vw0xrW0tOV

I received my first dose of the #CovidVaccine 24 hours ago @uihealthcare. It was a happy day, a triumph of science. It was also a sad day as hundreds of thousands of people around the globe are still getting infected every day. pic.twitter.com/TXZvAFeDnK
