Mid-Missouri health leaders hope to receive vaccine doses delayed by winter weather this week
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
Winter weather has caused nationwide delays in vaccine shipments, but health leaders in Columbia are hoping to get back on track.
Winter weather delayed the delivery of 6 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine nationwide. CNN reports the Biden administration has partially caught up on its delayed vaccine shipments, with about 2 million doses of the delayed doses being delivered.
The Columbia/Boone County Health Department reported that the city did not receive any of its scheduled vaccine doses because of the weather.
Assistant Director Scott Clardy said MU Health was supposed to get 4,000 doses of the vaccine, and the health department was supposed to get 300 doses. Neither received those doses.
