Some local health departments are seeing a flood of calls about COVID-19 vaccine availability for doses that may not arrive in the near future.
The Marshall County Health Department posted on social media earlier this week they did not have the capacity to handle the hundreds of calls asking for a COVID-19 vaccine.
Marshall County Health Department Public Health Director Billy Pitts wants people to know calling won’t bring more vaccines any faster. According to the social media post, the health department initially received 200 doses of the Moderna vaccine on Dec. 22, which were administered to those in Phase 1A of the state’s vaccine distribution. On Jan.12, the health department received 100 additional Moderna vaccines for a total of 300 doses.
