"The dates on our calendar are tentative, based on vaccine supply," ICHD Megan Redford told Patch. " We do not open appointment slots for our clinics until we have the vaccine supply for that clinic delivered to our office. This eliminates the risk of us having to cancel appointments if for some reason we do not receive a vaccine shipment."
