Maui Health is beginning to contact about 5,000 people whose vaccination appointments got canceled at the hospital’s vaccine clinic due to the lack of supply.
“We are reaching out to those people directly. If you are one of those people, you should be getting an email from us in the next two weeks on how you can reach back to us to get set up for an appointment,” said Dr. Michael Shea, chief medical director of Maui Health, which operates Maui Memorial Medical Center.
Maui Memorial is not doing the rescheduled appointments via the online Vaccination Administration Management System, also known as VAMS, since they are still not open to the general public, Shea said during a county news conference Wednesday afternoon.
