Hospital CEO Mike McCafferty offered a cautionary note regarding the number of vaccine doses that could be available in the coming days as the Wyoming Department of Health may be considering a “redeployment” of vaccine numbers to assist other counties who are struggling to move through Priority list 1b…

McCafferty also reported there are no new virus cases in the previous 24 hours and currently there are only 7 active lab-confirmed cases in the county.
