Correcting an error in our vaccine plan
January 27, 2021The following is a message from our CEO Art Kellermann:
“In a global pandemic, our mission to serve the public has never been more important. In our efforts to do just that, we misunderstood the request to provide as many vaccines doses as possible for public use. We were not asked to provide all our available doses.
We are immediately making a change and will administer second doses as we originally planned to all those due to receive them. No second appointments will be cancelled. We will communicate quickly to those individuals to help fix this problem.
We are pleased that we can do this and are delighted we can still provide vaccine to help meet community needs.
We apologize to everyone who has been alarmed about a delay in receiving their second vaccine. Please be assured that we are 100 percent committed to making this right.”
