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.
