Rural Arizona hospital frustrated by smaller vaccine allotment Copper Queen Community Hospital says it s ready to vaccinate and last updated 2021-01-31 16:21:13-05 BISBEE, Ariz. (KGUN) — Frustration is building at one rural Arizona hospital as vaccine allotment shrinks. Leaders at Copper Queen Community Hospital in Bisbee said they are going from vaccinating hundreds a day to just giving second doses- and at this point, they said they won’t be able to vaccine teachers and those 75 and older in a timely manner. The county s allotment will only be made up of 1,100 vaccines and only 100 will be first-time doses. “It’s such a shame that we were ready to go. We ve got patients calling our clinics, all four of them combined have over 700 calls a day. Most of those calls were patients looking for ways to access the vaccine, explained Robert Seamon, CEO of Copper Queen Community Hospital.
