'Frustrating': King Co. health officials are not expecting new shipment of Pfizer vaccine next week
With confusion swirling about the allocated doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine, King County health officials said Friday that they are not expecting any new shipments of the vaccine to public health facilities next week.
On Thursday, Gov. Jay Inslee stated that Washington’s allocation of the Pfizer vaccine will be cut by 40% in the upcoming week, calling it "disruptive and frustrating."
"The thought and planning given to the vaccine roll out was not proportional to the thought and planning given to the development of the vaccine," said Dr. Jeff Duchin of Public Health — Seattle & King County on Friday. "The amount of planning, foresight and investment in taking those vaccines that have been developed and shown to be safe and effective and getting them into people's arms has not been adequate."
Frontline healthcare workers have been among the first to receive the vaccine in the Evergreen State. Health officials had been expecting to receive approximately 74,100 doses of the Pfizer vaccine next week and another 85,800 the following week.
