Inslee: Washington state to receive 40% fewer COVID-19 vaccinations next week

Source: Seattle Times

OLYMPIA — The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said that Washington’s COVID-19 vaccine allocation will be reduced next week by 40%, according to Gov. Jay Inslee.

Inslee made the remark in a tweet Thursday morning.

The CDC “has informed us that WA’s vaccine allocation will be cut by 40 percent next week — and that all states are seeing similar cuts,” he wrote. “This is disruptive and frustrating.”

“We need accurate, predictable numbers to plan and ensure on-the-ground success,” added Inslee. “No explanation was given.”

Doesn't need to know how to ship, probably having the US military delivering it.

When I heard the plans discussed on NPR last week it sounded way beyond the current govt's capacity. And sure enough.

Pfizer says it has "millions more doses" of the #COVID19 vaccine waiting in a warehouse for the U.S. government to tell it where to send it.

"As of now, we have not received any shipping instructions for additional doses," Pfizer said.
