The first plane loaded with the COVID-19 vaccine for domestic use in the US landed in Memphis on Sunday. The Fedex aircraft was loaded with tens of thousands of doses of the Pfizer developed coronavirus vaccine that will start to be distributed around the United States.
The plane took off from the Ford Airport in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the closest commercial airport to Pfizer's Kalamazoo manufacturing base.
