Supply limitations slow Milwaukee s COVID-19 vaccine distribution
The City of Milwaukee received 2,200 doses of COVID-19 vaccine from the state this week.
MILWAUKEE - The City of Milwaukee received 2,200 doses of COVID-19 vaccine from the state this week about 44% of their weekly request, health officials said.
Limited supply, something health officials have been up against since the process began, is slowing the work to vaccinate more people.
At the Wisconsin Center, nearly 300 vaccination appointments had to be canceled Tuesday, Jan. 26 due to weather. With staff and recipients worried about getting there safely, all appointments will be rescheduled for later in the week.
At the Wisconsin Center in Milwaukee, Mayor Tom Barrett said staff has completely changed the floorplan, ramping up COVID vaccinations from hundreds to thousands, focused on getting as many doses as they can.
