Snowstorms throw US vaccine distribution into disarray

Vaccination sites close or see shipments delayed, heightening frustrations as thousands of shots are canceled

Devastating winter storms sweeping the US have injected confusion and frustration into the nation's Covid-19 vaccination drive, snarling deliveries and forcing the cancellation of thousands of shots around the country.

Across a large swath of the US, including deep south states such as Georgia and Alabama, the snowy, slippery weather either led to the closing of vaccination sites outright or held up the necessary shipments, with delays expected to continue for days.
