Communities report vaccine deliveries halted across Washington
The federal supply is supposed to go up, so there is hope
CAMANO ISLAND, Wash. - Vaccination clinics are running short on supply of COVID-19 vaccines across our region. The shortages are hitting rural areas especially hard including a clinic on Camano Island where officials received fewer doses than anticipated.
Another round of vaccination clinics was canceled this week due to a lack of supply. Officials said 1,200 doses had been ordered for delivery by the state, but nothing arrived. Two days later I had a little tenderness, explained Tom Hull. He had already been administered the first dose of the vaccine and said his plans depend on receiving the second.
