Neither Island Hospital nor county Public Health received vaccine allotments this week, and there is little expectation in getting a significant allotment in the near future.

Island Hospital has the capacity to vaccinate 1,000 people a week, CEO Charles Hall said Tuesday. With an estimated 6,500 people in the hospital’s service area who qualify for Phase 1B1, and an average of 166 doses a week the hospital has been allocated, it would take 39 weeks to distribute first doses overall.
