DHEC update

From South Carolina DHEC today:  The federal government has made South Carolina and other southeast states aware that severe weather may delay the arrival of COVID-19 vaccine over the next few days.  This bad weather has the potential to impact the FedEx facility in Memphis and the UPS facility in Louisville that are vaccine shipping hubs for several southeast states.  The majority of hospitals and large vaccine providers in South Carolina receive their vaccine from the federal government, and any delays are beyond DHEC’s control.  South Carolina continues to receive its full weekly allotments; however, some providers may need to re-schedule some appointments.  Oconee County resident Jim Sanders in unhappy with how the vaccine rollout is going.  Sanders wants to see local and area parking lots and ballfields used for vaccination sites.
