First, if you live in Tennessee, your County won’t get any of the Pfizer vaccine. That’s going to some hospitals. Second, your County will be waiting for the Moderna vaccine.
Moderna vaccine distribution in Tennessee
- Once approved, Tennessee expects to receive 115,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine.
- About 5,000 doses, or about 5 percent, will be held in reserve by the state in case vaccines shipped to hospitals and other facilities is damaged.
- One box, or about 100 doses of the vaccine, will go to each of the state’s 95 county health departments, according to the state’s vaccine distribution plan.
- The remaining doses will be distributed to county health departments and hospitals that did not receive the Pfizer vaccine.
When more will be distributed is left unknown. So good luck. You’re still going to be on your own, to watch after yourself as best you can, for an undetermined length of time.
