Delaware officials delay next vaccine distribution phase

DOVER, Del. (AP) — Delaware officials are delaying plans for the third phase of the state’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution because of short supplies of the vaccine.

Officials said Tuesday that the postponement is due to “extremely limited” vaccine supply and the large number of eligible Delawareans who have not been vaccinated in the second phase of the vaccine distribution plan.

Officials had planned to begin Phase 1C by March 1 but now say they intend to start it as close to March 1 as possible.
