“Piedmont has submitted orders for enough vaccine to cover our workforce – more than 30,000 people including employees, employed and independent medical staff, and agency/contract staff. We are committed to, over time, providing this vaccine to our entire workforce. Due to the limited quantity of the vaccine, we have segmented our workforce into waves, according to guidelines provided by the CDC and DPH. The first wave includes approximately 11,000 team members who have the highest risk, due to the potential exposure during their daily routines. We were informed last week that we would receive nearly 3,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine, but as of this afternoon (Dec. 21), we have received just two-thirds of these doses. We did receive our first allocation of the Moderna vaccine today. Because we don’t have the supply to meet the demand, we’ve created a randomized lottery system for team members who opt-in to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. As of Friday, Piedmont had vaccinated approximately 300 team members. Broader vaccination began at all our hospitals today.”
