While wintry weather cancels some vaccination clinics this week, state expects 24,000 additional doses
North Carolina leading health care providers outlined the promise and challenges of COVID vaccine distribution in a virtual town hall organized by Congresswoman Deborah Ross on Wednesday.
Kody Kinsley, the operations lead for NC DHHS COVID-19 Response, told the panel that while more than 1.8 million vaccines have been administered the need remains great.
“It’s really hard. None of us are used to living in a kind of consumer-constrained supply environment,” Kinsley said. “It makes really hard decisions for all of us.”
One bit of good news this week is that the federal government is increasing North Carolina’s share of vaccines by about 24,000 doses.
