Dadeville’s Lake Martin Community Hospital was one of the first 20 Alabama hospitals to receive the first batch of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines with 950 doses arriving at its facility this morning, Ivy Creek Healthcare marketing director Heidi Smith said.

The first vaccinations will be given 8 a.m. Wednesday to frontline workers, including Lake Martin Community Hospital health workers, and first responders operating within a 40-mile radius. At least 100 hospital staff members will be eligible, Smith said.
