Ohio will receive fewer doses of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine in its next shipment than previously promised by the pharmaceutical company.
Ohio received its first full week of the vaccine that was initially promised by the drug maker. But, the state is set to receive 52,800 fewer doses in its second shipment than was previously estimated by the federal government, Melanie Amato, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Health said in an email.
That brings the total number of Pfizer vaccine doses in the next shipment from 123,000 to 70,200, Amato said. That amounts to a nearly 43% decrease in doses to be shipped to Ohio next week.
