Most recently, a 33-year-old Disney employee revealed on Facebook that she received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine through a relative with connections to Redlands Community Hospital. Officials at Redlands Hospital confirmed that it administered the vaccine to several non-frontline workers, but only because extra doses were left over after frontline workers had received the vaccine, they said. Under state guidelines released this month, health departments and facilities may offer vaccine doses to people in lower priority groups when demand eases and doses are about to expire. Each vial contains five to six vaccine doses. The newspaper did not identify the woman, but the hospital confirmed that it did provide vaccine doses to several non-frontline workers.
