The first shipments of Covid-19 vaccine in the United States left on trucks and planes early on Sunday, kicking off a historic effort to stop a surging pandemic that is claiming the lives of more than 2,400 Americans a day.

Mask-wearing workers at a Pfizer factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan began packing up the vaccine in dry ice early Sunday morning and loaded the first shipments onto trucks bound for FedEx and UPS planes that will whisk the cargo across the country.
