LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — December 14 was a historic day across the country, but also in Arkansas as the first shipments and immunizations of the COVID-19 vaccine were distributed and administered.
Five Arkansas front-line workers became a part of history as they were among the first in the state to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
Now, over four months later, Arkansas has reached 1 million vaccinations.
Governor Asa Hutchinson commemorated the 1 millionth Arkansan to be vaccinated at the Department of Health on Thursday, April 22.
