"* today was essentialy a dress rehearsal if you will to set the stage for monday.

Mayo clinic says the first wave of health care workers is already signing up to get vaccinated.

Mayo clinic timed out the vaccination process today..

And actually introduced problems to "break the system" dr. melanie swift says when issues were introduced..

Like patients feeling uncomfortable with the process..

Allergic reactions or computer problems..

It took about 15 minutes to complete a vaccination but without any such glitches it only takes about four minutes!

Mayo clinic is hoping to vaccinate 45?

"* hundred people next week.

And used this experience to make sure things go smoothly come monday it's when you actually go through the motions it's when you realize that, 'oh, we need to keep these supplies closer or we need a runner who can do this or that."

But, it also gives people that comfort and that confidence that they know exactly what to do and what their resources are and when the first patients come through they will not be floundering or worried.

Mayo clinic is set to get the first shipment of the pfizer vaccine tomorrow..

And plans to use all 975 vials of the vaccine to begin protecting frontline thank you jessica.

Mayo clinic hopes by having health care workers get vaccinated first it will quell community fears proving the vaccine is both safe and effective.
