COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Roughly 2.7 million people in South Carolina will be eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine beginning Monday as part of Phase 1B. However, one big question that remains is will there be enough supply to meet the expected demand?
Some of South Carolinaâs biggest hospital providers said they donât know what their shipments will look like next week or if there will be an increase in the supply. However, CVSâs Vaccine lead for the Southeast CJ Hester said the company is expecting a substantial boost to their supply due to a one-time shipment of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.
