NC Promises More Vaccines For Providers Hit By Shortfalls

North Carolina's top public health official says coronavirus vaccine providers currently receiving little to no supply will soon have extra doses reserved for them. The supplies for some providers have dwindled because of a shift in strategy favoring mass vaccination sites. That has resulted in thousands of residents getting appointments postponed or canceled. Doses that have been provided for a mass vaccination site at the Carolina Panthers football stadium this weekend will account for as much as one-fourth of the state's weekly allotment. State health director Mandy Cohen says providers aren't allowed to turn away residents from other states who are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.
