The governor’s office today said California’s next shipment of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine will be about 40% smaller than had been initially expected.
The report said that the state was expecting about 393,000 doses in the shipment, but Newsom’s spokesperson, Erin Mellon, confirmed that the federal government has told them to expect about 233,000 doses.
A second vaccine created by Moderna was endorsed by an FDA panel Thursday afternoon, paving the way for it to receive an emergency use authorization.
If that is approved, California expects to receive about 672,000 doses as soon as next week.
