MU Health Care to give out second Pfizer doses Friday; first-dose appointments delayed
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
MU Health Care postponed first-dose vaccinations scheduled for Friday and Sunday.
People who have appointments for their second dose of the Pfizer vaccine are not impacted. Those appointments will continue as scheduled starting Friday.
The delay for first-time vaccinations comes after MU Health Care announced it had not yet received the shipment of 4,000 Moderna vaccines due to weather-related delays.
In a news release, MU Health Care announced that it would reach out to residents who had scheduled an appointment to reschedule.
MU Health Care Director of Pharmacy and Laboratory Services Brad Myers said in the news release that they are still waiting on confirmation on when the Moderna shipment will arrive.
"Those with appointments this week should know we will reach out to reschedule their appointment to ensure they receive the vaccine," Myers said.
MU Health Care partnered with The Columbia/Boone County Health Department to create a survey for residents to fill out, to find out when they're eligible to receive a vaccine.
