More than a hundred vaccine sites in Chicago didn’t get their shipments Tuesday following a heavy snowstorm overnight, the city’s public health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady said while promising people will get their appointments rescheduled and doses will not go to waste. Because most of the city’s vaccine supply comes from Tennessee, one of the many Southern states that this week’s winter storm brought to a standstill, more than 100 vaccine providers did not get their expected shipments on Tuesday, Arwady said during an online question-and-answer session. That led to wide-scale appointment cancellations, including at city-run mass vaccination sites, but Arwady said those slots will be rescheduled.
