MADISON, Wis. After a manufacturing error leading to 15 million spoiled Johnson & Johnson vaccine doses, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates allocations to states across the county will plunge for this coming week. Wisconsin received almost 86,000 doses on April 5, and state officials said last week that based on federal information, they anticipated that supply to increase each week.
Next week, however, Wisconsin is only slated for just over 10,000 doses of the vaccine; Moderna and Pfizer allotments will remain stable. The state received an initial shipment of 48,000 doses at the beginning of March, before weekly shipments dipped to just over 6,000 for two weeks. At the end of the month, the shipment was up to 33,800 doses, according to CDC data.

The City Council voted to extend the mask requirement through May 24. The decision came the same day the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Alabama will receive $44 million to expand vaccination efforts. Alabama ranks last in the country for the percentage of people who have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, according to CDC data. Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin said the mask ordinance is needed because COVID-19 continues to be a health threat, and most people in the city and the state have not been fully vaccinated.
