Maui District Health Officer Dr. Lorrin Pang said in news conference on Monday that whoever registers with the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionâs vaccine portal âVAMSâ can receive a shot anywhere in the country.
âIn our clinic we had somebody from California who came here, but she registered in California and she said VAMS is a system where you can get it anywhere once you register, which is true,â Pang said.
