Changes in vaccine plan may slow delivery to some workers, says Allegheny County’s top doc

The Allegheny County Health Department is not yet equipped with enough vaccine doses to begin vaccinating the people newly added by the state to inoculation plan's Group 1A, ACHD Director Debra Bogen said Wednesday. “I would love to tell you that we could vaccinate all of you who now meet these expanded criteria today, but the reality is that the current vaccine supply makes this unachievable at this time,” Bogen said in a press briefing. Bogen explained that in the past two weeks, Pennsylvania distributed 200,000 vaccine doses per week. Allegheny County received fewer than 20,000 of these per week. “Until the vaccine supply greatly expands, all those in Phase 1, please be patient,” she said.
