Another shipment of vaccines to the Alamodome has been delayed.
Appointments scheduled for a second dose for this Tuesday-Thursday have been rescheduled to Feb. 16-18, still at the Alamodome.
This delay will not affect vaccination appointments scheduled at other locations. It is the second time a delayed shipment has prompted the city to reschedule appointments at the Alamodome.
Officials with San Antonio s Metropolitan Health District said the supply delay to the Alamodome will be short-lived and was caused by the state not processing its order for more vaccines.
“We are sorry for the inconvenience, but the doses that have been allocated to us by the state have not arrived at this time,” said Dr. Anita Kurian Assistant Director of Communicable Diseases at Metro Health.
