JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Mississippi is still looking for ways to ramp up the COVID-19 vaccine distribution. But they have to work with the supply the federal government is sending, and it’s not enough to cover everyone eligible.
Mississippi’s vaccine distribution situation is the definition of demand exceeding supply.
“About 1.3 to 1.4 million people,” said State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs. “That’s a lot of people that now qualify. But if you look at how much vaccine that were allocated… right now we get a steady stream of about 37,000 first doses coming into the state every week.”
