Vaccines Expected at 100+ Nebraska Facilities Next Week

More than 100 Nebraska hospitals and health facilities are
expected to receive a new coronavirus vaccine next week, but the state won’t be getting as many overall doses as initially projected this month because of shipping delays.

Officials say the state will get 32,400 doses of the vaccine
from Moderna, assuming that the company’s drug wins federal approval on Thursday.

Those doses will go to 112 Nebraska hospitals, health centers and
health departments, including many in rural areas.

The first 15,600 doses from drug manufacturer Pfizer arrived in Nebraska this week. A second Pfizer shipment  set for next week has been postponed.
