They are suspending the making of appointments for first vaccines due to a lack of vaccine.
This is what's happening in many states who opened up to 65+ and essential workers and those with comorbidities. All at once, too many people, and it's causing problems.IMHO the issue is they put more people in the first tier than they knew they could get vaccine for.
My state has not had to cancel any appointments because they opened slowly in small-ish groups and only allowed appointments for what they knew could be provided. First frontline healthcare workers (and there may have been a couple different levels of that), then senior living facilities (which did have 2-3 distinct subgroups), then those 75+, then 70+, and only next week can people 65+ make appointments. Those under 65 with certain health conditions will be the next set, but appointments are not yet open to that group. At this point, no priority access for any other groups or occupations, though that may come before "general public" access.
