Dan, najahe -- huntsville hospital has been doing dry runs of administering the covid-19 vaccine to figure out the timing and logistics.

Hospital administrators has also done several table tops.

Where they sit and discuss all the different phases of getting the vaccine.

So, they can schedule future appointments for employees to get the vaccine.

"we walked through a person entering a vaccine site, to how long it will take to do the paperwork, to how many steps they will take to get to the vaccine, how many stations we have."

After hospital employees receive the vaccine -- they will have to wait thirty minutes to be monitored for any side-effects.

The hospital has already taken that into consideration and will make sure there is room to keep people six feet apart.
