ANAdvertisementOklahoma’s next shipment of Pfizer vaccine will be smaller than initially projected, OSDH saysThe announcement that Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine has been authorized for emergency use could not come soon enough as state health leaders said Oklahoma’s next shipment of the Pfizer vaccine will be smaller than initially projected.The shipment from Pfizer is set to arrive next week but was reduced by about 14,000 doses.“We had a slight downward projection; however, we have been expecting a third Pfizer shipment at the end of the month,” said Keith Reed, deputy commissioner of Community Health Services.Health care leaders are possibly accounting for the loss depending on the size of the shipment. Regardless, officials still plan to receive 166,000 Pfizer and Moderna vaccines before the end of the year.“Possibly even more vaccines moving ahead,” Reed said.Sen. James Lankford called the Moderna vaccine a huge win for Oklahoma because it’s easy to store.Dr. Douglas Drevets said the major difference between the two vaccines is that Pfizer’s has to be stored at “ultra-cold temperatures” while Moderna’s “is more stable.”“I think you will store the Moderna vaccine in just a regular freezer at what you call minus-20, and then it has a longer shelf,” Drevets said.The announcement that Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine has been authorized for emergency use could not come soon enough as state health leaders said Oklahoma’s next shipment of the Pfizer vaccine will be smaller than initially projected.The shipment from Pfizer is set to arrive next week but was reduced by about 14,000 doses.Advertisement“We had a slight downward projection; however, we have been expecting a third Pfizer shipment at the end of the month,” said Keith Reed, deputy commissioner of Community Health Services.Health care leaders are possibly accounting for the loss depending on the size of the shipment.
