$208 million has been allocated to help propel coronavirus vaccination efforts across South Carolina.
The bill that passed in the House on Tuesday provides funding to help in testing and administering the vaccination along with personal protective gear for health workers.
Governor McMaster plans on signing the bill into law later this week. This recent proposal is part of the considerations in the State House to improve
and enhance the distribution of the trial vaccinations throughout the state.
Even though vaccine supplies are low in South Carolina the House is considering vaccinating teachers ahead of seniors who qualify for the inoculation.
There have been numerous delays and cancellations due to the shortage causing providers to resort to only taking appointments when they know that they have the vaccine on hand.
The recent inclement weather across the nation has also slowed the distribution of shipments of the vaccine changing the way DHEC will allocate the doses. Because the vaccine requires two shots much
of the first shot allocations were used to administer a second shot causing the system to bog down. DHEC claims to have the situation under control and have made adjustments to simplify the process.
