The winter weather that’s notoriously wreaked havoc across Texas and other states is slowing down Georgia’s efforts to administer COVID-19 vaccines.
State Department of Public Health officials say hazardous weather has delayed both Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccine shipments bound for distribution.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the manufacturers held back their normal allotments this week.
DeKalb County’s board of health even had to cancel appointments, saying it’s working to contact people scheduled for their second dose at sites in Doraville and Stonecrest.
Meanwhile, Georgia has a vaccine equity problem, according to the state’s new COVID-19 vaccine dashboard that launched this week.
