PeaceHealth COVID vaccine doses double this week and Skagit offers these unclaimed doses

This week, PeaceHealth will give 2,500 first doses of the Pfizer vaccine, and 3,000 second doses, according to the health care provider’s weekly vaccine update on Monday, April 5.

That’s 108% percent more first doses than last week — when the health care provider received 1,200 first doses —but it’s too soon to say whether vaccine supplies are starting to open up, according to Bev Mayhew, spokesperson for PeaceHealth.

“We hope so, but it has gone up and down over the past weeks so we really can’t draw any conclusions,” Mayhew said to The Bellingham Herald.
