The Manitowoc County Health Department will not be receiving its allocations of second dose COVID-19 vaccines on time due to shipping delays caused by last week’s winter storms across the south and Texas.
Emergency Services Director Travis Waack says appointments scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday will be rescheduled for next week. If you had an appointment scheduled for tomorrow it’ll be rescheduled for next Wednesday, March 3rd and those slated for Thursday will be rescheduled for March 5th.
Waack reiterates that postponing the second dose by a week does not reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine and is within CDC guidelines.
All affected have been notified. Any questions or concerns can be addressed by calling the County Health Department at 683-4155 or e-mail vaccinations@co. Manitowoc.wi.us.
