Wailuku, Maui, HI (January 15, 2021) – Unfortunately, we were just informed by the state that we will not be receiving the shipment we anticipated this week. Additionally, our next scheduled shipment will also contain less doses than we have requested.

• Because of this, we have made the difficult decision to postpone all first dose appointments to ensure that we have enough doses of the vaccine to provide second doses to those who will require them over the next few weeks.
• We will continue to communicate updates as soon as possible. Mahalo for your patience. Please know that we are working tirelessly to advocate for more vaccines for our Maui community and we will not stop until every single person that wants to, is vaccinated.
• If you already submitted an appointment request form, we are working to assist you to get registered in VAMS. You should have already received an email from VAMS. Please review the important notes below AND the VAMS JOB AID for assistance.
• For more information on our vaccine clinic and next steps, please find the appropriate group that applies to you below.

If you got your first dose at UH Clinic (Moderna Vaccine) and need to contact someone about your second dose, please contact the Maui District Health Office UH Vaccine clinic to schedule that appointment at DOH.MDHOcovid19clinics@doh.hawaii.gov. You CANNOT get your second dose at the hospital (Pfizer Vaccine).
