A week after Iowa received its first doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine, it has begun receiving thousands of doses of a second company s vaccine, and pharmacy teams will start vaccinating residents and staff of long-term care facilities next week, Gov. Kim Reynolds said Tuesday.
Reynolds noted at a news conference that because of a federal planning error, the state is receiving about 20% less vaccine than expected this month. But she said such complications are understandable. It has been and it will continue to be a monumental effort, she said. .There are bound to be some bumps in the road as we head down this new path.

Following the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of Emergency Use Authorization for Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine on Dec. 11, the first shipments of the vaccine arrived in Iowa during the week of Dec. 13. The state will continue to receive weekly shipments over the coming months.
The Iowa Department of Public Health, following the guidance issued by the Advisory Council on Immunization Practices, has worked alongside local public health departments to allocate the first doses of the vaccine for healthcare workers in facilities who are at highest risk of exposure to the virus.
Iowa has reserved the remaining doses of the Pfizer vaccine for the National Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care, a program established to vaccinate staff and residents of long-term care facilities. This program is scheduled to begin the week of Dec. 28 for Iowa’s 25,500 nursing facility employees and 19,000 residents.
