They’re vaccinating far fewer health-care providers than what they could be because they just don’t have the doses available,” the former FDA chief and Pfizer board member said on “Squawk Box.” “I don’t think that they’re going to catch up next week even after the Moderna doses ship and you start having more supply in the channel.” Suresh Gunasekaran, CEO of University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics, painted a similar account to CNBC. “We received one Pfizer batch earlier this week with 975 doses, and we can report that we concluded vaccinating 975 people yesterday,” Gunasekaran said Friday on “Squawk on the Street.” “To be perfectly honest, if we needed to vaccinate double or triple that amount in the last few days, we could have. Really the availability of vaccine was really our rate limiting step.” The U.S. began administering shots to health-care workers Monday, just days after Pfizer and BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine received limited regulatory approval. However, confusion has arisen in recent days as some governors across the country have said they now expect to receive fewer doses than anticipated in the coming weeks. The Department of Health and Human Services has pushed back on those suggestions, telling CNBC in a statement that reports that “jurisdictions’ allocations are being reduced are incorrect.” The statement added, “As was done with the initial shipments of Pfizer vaccine, jurisdictions will receive vaccine at different sites over several days.” In a statement Thursday, Pfizer said its manufacturing has not experienced any disruptions despite claims from Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis earlier this week that the drug company has had a production issue leading to dose shortages. “This week, we successfully shipped all 2.9 million doses that we were asked to ship by the U.S. Government to the locations specified by them,” Pfizer said. “We have millions more doses sitting in our warehouse but, as of now, we have not received any shipment instructions for additional doses.” The U.S. government has said it plans to ship 2 million doses of Pfizer’s vaccine next week. Moderna’s vaccine could receive emergency approval as soon as Friday, and U.S. officials have said that just under 6 million doses of its vaccine could be shipped next week. » Subscribe to CNBC TV: » Subscribe to CNBC: » Subscribe to CNBC Classic: Turn to CNBC TV for the latest stock market news and analysis.
