Gov. John Carney on Tuesday said Delaware could distribute four times the amount of vaccine the state is receiving each week.
The lack of supply – there are nearly 300,000 Delawareans currently eligible for the vaccine and Delaware is receiving between 15,000 and 20,000 doses each week – is the main limiting factor in the state s vaccine rollout, officials say.
Carney is optimistic the situation will improve with the Biden administration now in charge of distributing the vaccine to states. It has guaranteed to a certain extent the number of vaccines states will receive over the next three weeks, allowing for better planning at the state level, and has promised to increase allotments by 22%.

At almost every turn in its early stages, Delaware s vaccine plan has prompted confusion and frustration among the health care workers, first responders and older adults who officials say deserve protection from the novel coronavirus s deadly effects first.
In the first month of the rollout, the state struggled to get the vaccine to primary care providers and other private offices without a hospital affiliation that are considered part of the state s highest-priority phase 1A population.
