Any patients who had second dose appointments scheduled between March 5-12 and did not receive a call to reschedule may call 915-742-2273 to schedule their second dose.
“According to the Centers for Disease Control, when it is not feasible to adhere to the recommended 21-day vaccination interval and a delay in receiving the second dose is unavoidable, the second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine may be administered up to 6 weeks (42 days) after the first dose,” medical center officials said in a news release. “If the second dose is administered beyond 42 days, there is no need to restart the series. WBAMC is doing everything possible to minimize the delay in second dose vaccinations given the amount of vaccine available.”
William Beaumont Army Medical Center is temporarily postponing administration of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine due to a shortage in doses.
The medical center will temporary stop getting the vaccine at Stayton Theatre and Stout Gym locations until further notice, William Beaumont Army Medical Center officials said.
The current doses of the vaccine the medical center has are being prioritized to “deploying active duty service members prior to vaccine expiration, pending resupply to Fort Bliss,” officials said.
TRICARE beneficiaries and U.S. Department of Defense personnel who were scheduled to receive their second-dose Friday or later will need to reschedule their appointments once the medical center’s appointment system has reopened, officials said.
