The City of Pasadena is having to slow down its administration of the COVID-19 vaccine because of a lack of doses coming from the state of California.
Instead of getting 2,800 doses, the city will only get a little over 2,000 which means they will have to scale back issuance of second doses of the vaccine.
Pasadena city spokesperson Lisa Derderian says there is also a second problem they are running into, regarding people sharing vaccination e-mail notifications with those who are ineligible.
"Now, we have to go through and cross check if they have received a first dose to be eligible for the second dose and if not somebody new that signed up through the link," she says.
City officials point out that they have the infrastructure to administer close to 10,000 doses a week.
The only holdup is a sustained supply of the vaccine and they are hoping for an increased supply coming from state sources on Monday.
