PHOENIX – The Arizona Department of Health Services announced Tuesday that extreme winter weather across the country has delayed the delivery of COVID-19 vaccine doses to the state.
FULL COVER: COVID-19 vaccine in Arizona
Officials say because of these delays, some health departments in the province told ADHD that they had to cancel appointments in the next two days.
According to ADHD, there are enough doses available for state vaccination sites and other sites that administer the Pfizer vaccine to proceed without interruption.
Officials say they are in regular contact with federal and local partners to monitor this situation.
ADHS did not specify which counties notified them of cancellations, or how many appointments would be affected.
Maricopa County says they are not canceling appointments, but will continually evaluate the offer tomorrow and coordinate with ADHD.
ABC15 is working to find out how provinces will notify people if their appointment is canceled, and whether there is an immediate opportunity to reschedule.
Adhs has left out the provinces they have reached, which should cancel appointments.
It looks like the information will be good in a statement – ‘some local health departments have said ADHD ….’ is all we know.
