Tom Hudachko, health department spokesman, admits the department has had challenges with getting all the vaccine doses out on time. He said most of those delayed doses are with long-term health care facilities which have sometimes staggered their vaccine clinics. (KUTV)

An executive order from Gov. Spencer Cox mandates that doses should be used within seven days of being received. But new numbers out Wednesday showed of the 226,725 first doses the state has received, 32,042 are sitting on the shelf longer than the week they are supposed to, violating the executive order.
