Des Moines Register
Vaccine shipments are expected to resume soon to five rural Iowa counties that the state last week weren't using at least 80% of what they already had on hand.
The county health departments contended they did meet a state rule requiring they use up at least 80% of their COVID-19 vaccine stock before receiving more. Directors at three of the county agencies said Monday they believed that the issue had been resolved and that they would be receiving this week's allocation on Friday, which would be about three days later than expected.
But later Monday, the Iowa Department of Public Health said that the vaccine the five counties would be receiving soon would be from the allocation aimed at next week.
