It’s been almost one year since the pandemic began to take hold in the United States, and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History is commemorating the anniversary with an announcement about a recent addition to its artifacts. The museum has obtained the vial that held the very first dose of Covid-19 vaccine that was given in the United States.
The Smithsonian plans to archive and record the history of the global pandemic and “this extraordinary period we were going through,” according to reporting by the Associated Press. The announcement of the procurement includes other items that correspond with the first dose of the vaccine.
