Some people seeking the newest Covid vaccines are running into high demand, insurance headaches and supply delays coast to coast.
Millions of the newly formulated vaccines have shipped out since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention signed off on them last week for ages 6 months and up. Cases started rising again in late summer, and experts hope the new shots will help protect people during the coming fall respiratory virus season.
But some people have had to cancel appointments because their insurance hasn’t updated the billing codes to cover the vaccines. Others signed up for appointments, only for them to be canceled because of supply issues. And in some places, there are no available nearby vaccines: A search in Juneau, Alaska, through the federal government’s website shows no available appointments within 100 miles.
