More than 110,000 Covid-19 vaccine doses have been destroyed in Georgia since December - CNN
Georgia Department of Health spokesperson Nancy Nydam told CNN that 110,079 doses were destroyed because they were not being used.
There are various reason for vaccines to go unused, according to Nydam, including doses not being needed after being prepared, parent or child refusal, damaged vials, syringe leaks and apparent contamination.Vaccines using mRNA, as the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines do, have a short life once they are prepared.
