Colorado governor criticizes false promise of more vaccines

DENVER (AP) — Colorado Gov. Jared Polisy said the Trump administration showed “gross incompetence” when it provided false information about the existence of a federal vaccine reserve.

The criticism came Friday,  three days after the administration announced the federal government would begin releasing second doses of the vaccine being held in a reserve. It was later discovered that the administration had already started shipping the available doses at the end of December, depleting any reserves.

Polis said the state had been led to believe it would receive 210,000 doses next week but later found out it would get just 79,000.
