As vaccination demand declines, smaller shipments of Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine are now available
Primary tabs
Smaller shipments of Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine are currently available for ordering, a US Health and Human Services spokesperson told CNN.
These shipments contain 450 doses while the larger shipments contain 1,170 doses. Both shipment sizes are available for vaccine providers to order.
Pfizer has been working on this smaller shipment size in order to meet changing demands and said they would be available by the end of May.
“December and January, it was all about how many -- get just getting mass quantities of doses out. But as we continue through the program in February and March, absolutely, we were hearing directly from states and vaccination sites that they, we were seeing this coming, that we would need to help them with ease of vaccination and no wasted doses, right? We never want wasted vaccine,” Tanya Alcorn, vice president in charge of Pfizer’s global supply chain, previously told CNN.
While slightly more than 40% of the total US population is fully vaccinated, the pace of vaccinations has been on the decline.
Claire Hannan, executive director of the Association of Immunization Managers, told CNN previously that the larger shipments have posed challenges for smaller vaccination sites.
