ADPH responds after 4 Alabama senators release letter on COVID-19 vaccine distribution issues
Vaccine response By WBRC Staff | January 19, 2021 at 1:56 PM CST - Updated January 19 at 10:43 PM
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Four Alabama senators penned a letter about what they are calling the COVID-19 vaccine distribution problem in Alabama.
Senators Jim McClendon, Greg Albritton, Tom Whatley and Randy Price released the following letter Tuesday, January 19:
We have always known that distributing the Covid vaccine supply would be difficult, especially in the beginning.

The rule is simple: The CDC will not authorize shipments to Alabama until they know we are using what we have on hand. Our citizens are paying a deadly price.
Yeah, the vaccine hasn’t been out very long, but we’ve been anticipating it for months, and just that there wasn’t a comprehensive plan in place is just mind-boggling,
