Eligible Hoosiers begin to receive COVID-19 vaccine By Joanna Bouras and Jared Goffinet | January 12, 2021 at 4:42 PM EST - Updated January 12 at 5:32 PM
LAWRENCEBURG, Ind. (FOX19) - Day one of COVID-19 vaccinations in Dearborn County saw around 100 doses administered to eligible Hoosiers.
Dearborn County Health Officer Dr. Stephen Eliason said the first day of vaccines for first responders, healthcare workers, and people 80 years of age and older went smooth with a few kinks here and there.
One hundred doses of the Moderna vaccine were available Tuesday, while another 100 will be ready Wednesday, Eliason said.
Abbott explained why there is a difference between the number of doses that have been provided across the state and the number of doses that have been administered in the state. There is lag time. It typically takes two days for that information to be input into the system and for it to be received by the state for it to be reported, he said.
Abbott said there is another reason why some available doses have not been administered. He said some providers are holding doses so that they can provide the second dose to someone who has already received the first dose.
