United Health Services stepped in to cover 300 doses but that still left county health officials with the task of contacting people with appointments scheduled for later in the day to reschedule their shots.
Meanwhile, the County says it expects in the next week or two private health care providers may start to get vaccines and set up appointments with their patients.
