"While we continue to work with our Health Department and across jurisdictions to make sure our vaccine efforts move forward for our County and region, we do not yet have the supply we need to vaccinate everyone here," Alsobrooks said in a news release. "Due to the limited supply of vaccine, we will not be able to honor the appointments made by individuals who do not live or work in our County, as we must prioritize our vulnerable County seniors and workers at this time."
Only first-dose appointments will be canceled; those who are getting a second dose will still be able to do so.
