Covid-19 vaccine doses to be distributed in South Carolina by mid-December

South Carolina – The state of South Carolina could soon see its first COVID-19 vaccine shipments by mid-December.

Health officials said Thursday that healthcare workers and people living in long term care facilities will be the first to receive the vaccine.

Officials say they won’t disclose how many doses they will get until the vaccine is in hand because estimates are still fluctuating.

The vaccine shipments will go to five storage locations statewide. The health department has authorized about 200 providers to administer the vaccine in the state.

The state health agency also reported 1,754 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 21 additional deaths Thursday.
