KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany — The largest U.S. military hospital overseas may have to cancel coronavirus vaccinations as of next week, as supplies dwindle and new deliveries are delayed, it said.
Most appointments to get a follow-up shot at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center near Ramstein Air Base could be canceled starting Tuesday morning, and patients will be “rescheduled as soon as we are resupplied,” LRMC said in a post on its Facebook page Wednesday.
New supplies of the vaccine might not arrive for several weeks, it said. Only second doses are available for now, LRMC said.
The delay contrasts with commands in the U.S., the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle East, several of whom have recently received large vaccine shipments.
