JUST CONFIRMED: Iowa has informed five counties in the state that it's cancelling their vaccine shipments.
IDPH is sending more info soon about why. Educated guess: these counties didn't inject 80% of current supply as mandated by the state.
We believe Buchanan Co. is one.

I see that Minnesota governor Tim Walz called out Iowa having a 20-some percent covid test positivity rate while Minnesota's was at 3.9 percent.

There were so many people on my Facebook feed happy that she visited Washington yesterday. There were still some mad that it was so secretive and no BIOPIC(?) were there. But this is gonna piss off some rich conservatives.

I just got my first dose this morning. Am I guaranteed to get my second one? This is low key worrisome

From what I understand from talking with county health officials in a few counties, this is talking about first doses. So say County X gives out 100 prime doses of Moderna -- in four weeks, they're guaranteed 100 secondary doses of Moderna.

THANKS BIDEN. Fucking idiot.
As a side note, Beth Malicki is SO fucking tiny and hot. I'd eat the peanuts out of her shit.

I’m not sure why thanks Biden. That’s an Iowa / Kim practice. Here in Washington County they moved the date due to weather but since that made it so we didn’t get them out in whatever time frame we’re being punished.

What are you talking about. Why didn't Biden use one of his Executive Orders to force the states hand? After all it's for the greater good.

This is like blaming Jeff Bezos for your Amazon package being late.

If the packages were late to FIVE counties and thousands of people I would start to blame Jeff Bezos. This vaccine rollout is the most complicated in the history of our nation and there couldn't possibly be unforeseen bumps in the road so it is 100% the president's fault!
If we are blaming Trump we can blame Biden too.

WTF? Thank Trump who did nothing for a year while 450,000 died. How the hell anybody could blame Biden, who's been in the presidency less than a month, for this mess is beyond me.

This decision to cancel vaccine shipments wasn't made a month ago. It was made yesterday and Biden did nothing to help. Vaccines are supposed to be his priority so why didn't he alter CDC restrictions to allow more to get vaccinated instead of letting them sit there in a refrigerator.
Also, We received the vaccine during the Trump administration so I wouldn't exactly call that "nothing".

So here’s what a quick Google search revealed: the state is holding off sending more vaccines to the five counties until they administer enough (80%) of the doses they ALREADY have.
This headline is written poorly, and I certainly panicked more than I needed to! Fortunately my only problem is still being stonewalled by county health.

That's what I'm seeing actually reading in the comments as well
This is about withholding surplus supply to counties that aren't even using up what they already have in cold storage, not cutting anyone off.
