COVID-19 In Pennsylvania: Lack Of Vaccine Supply Forces St. Clair Hospital To Cancel First Dose Appointments
By: KDKA-TV News Staff
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - St. Clair Hospital says it's being forced to cancel first dose COVID-19 vaccine appointments through next week.
The hospital says it hasn't been resupplied with the Pfizer vaccine for two weeks, so they have to cancel first dose appointments this week and next week. They say this also affects on-campus vaccine clinics at Twin Towers, Dormont Place and Carnegie Retirement Residence senior living facilities.
This doesn't affect second dose appointments at this time, the hospital says.
Vaccine Update: Unfortunately, St. Clair has not been resupplied with the Pfizer vaccine for two weeks. As a result, we are forced to cancel first dose appointments this week and next. (1)
