Harvard University Health Services Director Giang T. Nguyen said in a Friday interview he anticipates that state vaccine shipments will remain low through March but is âhopefulâ that supplies will increase in April, in time to send students home for the summer vaccinated.
Since December, when HUHS began vaccinations, Harvard has submitted weekly requests to the state asking for thousands of doses, according to Nguyen. Due to insufficient supply and a focus on larger-scale facilities, he explained, HUHS has only received 100 or 200 doses at a time.
Nguyen said he expects this trend will continue until the end of the month, though he hopes supplies will increase in April.
