The state's low numbers have dampened Reed's hope of reaching President Joe Biden's goal of having 70% of Americans vaccinated by July 4.

\"I have to be honest with you that, at this point, I do not see us getting close to that by July 4,\" Reed said. \"Not to say we're not going to continue to work hard and diligently to increase our numbers.\"

Other states, including Arkansas and Ohio, face similar supply and demand predicaments. In Arkansas, 70,000 Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson doses are set to expire in June, the health department told ABC News. In Ohio, 200,000 doses will expire June 23, according to the governor.

ABC News' Anne Flaherty and Stephanie Ebbs contributed to this report.
