FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. – Officials with the Florida Department of Health in Flagler County are ready to potentially delay some coronavirus vaccine appointments scheduled for this week if the Moderna shipment doesn’t come through on Wednesday.
Across the state, vaccine shipments have been delayed as other parts of the country deal with a severe winter storm that’s made it unsafe to travel.

Flagler County health officials still plan to provide 500 first doses during an event on Wednesday but first doses scheduled for Thursday could be postponed if the Moderna shipment doesn’t arrive before then.
So far, vaccine events in Orange, Osceola, Marion and Brevard counties have not been affected.
