Northeastern Pennsylvania hospitals are canceling and rescheduling Moderna COVID-19 vaccines following an announcement of supply shortages from the Department of Health on Wednesday. On Feb. 17, Department of Health Acting Secretary Alison Beam announced that this week’s request for 200,000 doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine by Pennsylvania providers “was almost equal to our entire allocation of Moderna.” Beam explained that since early January, some providers in the commonwealth had used allocations of second doses as first doses, compounding supply issues until it reached a breaking point. As a result, Lehigh Valley Health Network and St. Luke’s University Health Network have both announced that they will be forced to reschedule vaccinations due to supply issues.
