The planned Group Three vaccinations scheduled to begin Wednesday likely have become more complicated â at least in the short term â because of the winter cold snapâs effect on first dose supplies.
The N.C. Department of Health and Human Services announced Friday that the rounds of vaccine expected to have arrived Feb. 16-17 from federal government supplies wonât be available for distribution until between Monday and Wednesday.
âAllocations for the next week are also expected to arrive during the same time period,â DHHS said.
âTypically, providers receive COVID-19 vaccine shipments of first doses on Tuesday and Wednesday and shipments of second doses on Thursday and Friday.â
