Announcements

According to Michigan officials, the CDC says the Pfizer vaccines were not shipped at all on Feb. 15 due to inclement weather. A limited amount of these vaccines will be shipped this week.

Shipments of Modern COVID vaccines were also affected, with no shipments from the Memphis McKesson distribution center on February 15, 16 or 17 due to weather. Some shipments of Modern vaccines were also stopped last week due to weather conditions.

Officials say CDC is working with companies to resume distribution operations as soon as possible.

It is currently unclear whether any of Michigan’s Modern Vaccine orders will be shipped to the state on Thursday or Friday, February 18th. MDHHS officials say more information will be shared once it is known.

The news comes as several COVID-19 vaccination appointments were rescheduled in Michigan this week due to severe weather conditions.

Announcements

For the second week in a row, Michigan Medicine has announced that it can only offer COVID-19 vaccine appointments to those receiving their second vaccine due to a limited supply of vaccines.

Only those who received their first dose through Michigan Medicine can receive their second dose at health care vaccine clinics.

Those who previously received an invitation to make an appointment for the first dose are reminded that the invitation remains open. Michigan Medicine is asking those waiting for the first dose to return next week to see if new appointments are available.

Announcements

Michigan did not receive the expected amount of COVID vaccines from the federal government, which led the state to take part in the allocation of the first dose and change it to those already scheduled for its second dose. .

The decision means some people who have a first-dose appointment set for next week may be late.

“MDHHS, with the help of MING, asked local health departments and hospitals about the need for second-dose vaccines. We are fixing the lack of second doses of orders we will be making for shipment next week. Approximately 37,300 doses of the “first dose” allocation will have to be used to ensure a complete vaccination for people who are required to take a second dose, ”Lynn Sutfin told the Department of Michigan Health and Human Services.
