Vaccine pace slows in some areas of Nebraska and last updated 2021-04-23 11:15:49-04 OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) â Some doctors said we may be reaching a critical crossroads in the pandemic. The White House says roughly 200 million people have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the rate of vaccination is slowing down, and that's happening in some parts of our area. Ten of the 23 health districts in the state of Nebraska have declined new vaccine allotments this week as fewer people are jumping in line to get vaccinated. Julie Rother, Health Director of Northeast Nebraska Public Health Department, said she has seen a major change in their efforts.
