Hi, what are you looking for?
The CDC says there's no evidence the new variant makes people sicker or increases deaths, and current vaccines appear effective.
It was unclear Tuesday how much vaccine the state would be sending to these South Alabama counties.
The university will vaccinate its health care workers and safety personnel, and then partner with the Montgomery Housing Authority.
At one point last week, just 39 of the state’s approximately 1,600 ICU beds were available. Vaccine supply remains low.
Dr. Scott Harris said hospitals "by and large are out" of vaccines and largely only have enough for required second doses.
A UAB doctor said the hospital could do more, if it had more vaccine.
Dr. Karen Landers said earlier plans for an online registration portal didn't come to fruition, but it could be online within two weeks.
"We will get shots in the arm and off the shelf. In the meantime, be patient," Ivey said.
An Alabama Department of Public Health spokesman said the federal government's inconsistent flow of vaccines makes planning difficult.
It will be some time before we can truly understand the death and destruction caused by COVID-19.
