BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Alabama pharmacies could be getting their own supply of COVID vaccines in the coming weeks. President Bidenâs administration announced Tuesday they will be sending vaccine supplies directly to pharmacies.
Alabama State Health Officer Dr. Scott Harris said Wednesday this is great news. The state has been struggling to get more people vaccinated and the biggest problem has been the limited supply of vaccines that are being shipped to the state.
Dr. Harris said there are more than 880 providers to give shots in Alabama unfortunately they are not getting enough vaccine doses to give to all those providers.
