preview

Topeka Capital-JournalView CommentsKansas will likely be getting almost 37% fewer&nbsp;Pfizer vaccine doses than initially promised in its next shipment in the next week, a spokesperson from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment&nbsp;said.Instead of the approximately 28,000 doses from Pfizer the state said it would receive, that number has dropped to 17,550 doses.&nbsp;The other type of vaccine, from Moderna, is still expected to arrive with 49,000 doses next week. This will be the first shipment from Moderna.The reduced number of already scarce vaccine doses is likely to further limit the reach of vaccinations. One will need two, not one, doses&nbsp;of the vaccine, with the second dose&nbsp;three to four weeks after the first.&nbsp;The smaller number of Pfizer vaccine doses will still be allocated toward the National Pharmacy Program, as vaccinations for long-term care residents and staff begin to ramp up next week.&nbsp;This comes as other states have also reported fewer doses than promised of the second shipment of the Pfizer vaccine. Iowa its allocation could be reduced by as much as 30%, while&nbsp;nearby also said the same.National media outlets that Pfizer is&nbsp;facing some supply chain issues as well as ongoing negotiations with the United States to secure more vaccine doses.A later report by revealed that errors in a&nbsp;system set up for states to keep track of coronavirus vaccines resulted in states believing they would get more doses than what was actually to be sent.Vaccinations in Kansas for health care workers started Monday.View Comments
