MONTPELIER â The shipments of COVID-19 vaccine the state will receive from the federal government next week will be less than what the state was pledged â a situation Gov. Phil Scott and his cabinet want to see change. Mike Smith, the secretary for the state Agency of Human Services, said Thursday during a COVID-19 briefing that the state will be receiving a combined 7,800 doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines. Thatâs just two-thirds of the 11,700 doses the state was expecting. That greatly concerns Smith, Scott and Dr. Mark Levine, the stateâs health commissioner. So far, thereâs no clear understanding from the federal government as to why things changed, they said.
