Health bosses in Lincolnshire said there will be enough vaccine doses to cover the first phase of the government’s rollout and some second doses as well.
It comes as national media report a slowdown in vaccine supply across the country from the end of March.
Government bosses confirmed the issue but said no-one who had an appointment should be worried, nor that the roadmap out of lockdown would be affected.
A letter from the NHS urged against vaccinating anyone under the age of 50 unless in exceptional circumstances.
Health secretary Matt Hancock later told MPs in the House of Commons that there had been a need to retest the stability of 1.7 million doses and a delay in a scheduled delivery from the Serum Institute in India.
A spokesperson for NHS Lincolnshire CCG said: “We aim to finish vaccinating cohorts 1-9 (those aged 50 and over and the clinically extremely vulnerable) before mid-April, therefore completing phase 1 of the vaccination roll-out
“We have enough vaccines coming to do that over coming weeks.
“We will spend some time delivering second doses over the coming weeks for those people that are due them.”
However, they urged those who had not yet had their first jab to make an appointment and make sure they attend their appointment.
Last week, Martin Fahy, from the CCG said as many as 60 people a day were missing appointments at the county’s COVID-19 vaccination centres.
Although he understood that circumstances might change, or emergencies occured, he urged people to cancel and re-arrange if they could not attend.
The county’s two main vaccination centres at the Lincolnshire Showground in Lincoln and the Princess Royal Sports Arena in Boston can vaccinate between 900-1,000 people a day each alongside the smaller satellite vaccinator centres dotted around the county.
Supply slowdown is just one of the issues besetting the vaccination programme this week as bosses previously moved to reassure people the AstraZeneca jab was safe.
It comes after several EU countries banned or suspended the use of the vaccine following a number of patients suffering blood clots, despite medical agencies saying it is safe.

Can you help us identify the woman in these CCTV images?
We are appealing for help to identify the woman shown in these CCTV images following a theft that occurred on Wednesday 22 June in Grimsby.
A 92-year-old woman was walking through Freshney Place Shopping centre, Grimsby when it is believed that her purse was taken from her shopping trolley.
The woman in these images we believe may be able to assist with our investigations and we would ask anyone who believes they recognise her to please contact us on our non-emergency 101 line quoting log 246 of 23 June.
A retired fire engine that used to operate in Grimsby was used in Ukraine to help combat a missile attack on a shopping centre, which the G7 has described as a ‘war crime’ by Russia.
On Monday, footage emerged of a missile striking a shopping centre in the Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk, with Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky claiming is is evidence of a deliberate attack by Russia.
At least 20 people were killed and around 56 were injured following the incident, with G7 leaders saying the attack is considered a war crime. More than 1,000 people were inside the building when it was hit by the missile.
A familiar looking fire engine can be seen in video footage of the blaze shared across news outlets and social media platforms, in the form of an old Humberside Fire & Rescue vehicle.

The fire engine used to operate here in North East Lincolnshire, covering Grimsby and Immingham, and it is one of many vehicles sent out by Humberside Fire & Rescue to various countries across Europe in recent years.
Fire Aid recently sent a convoy of around 75 vehicles, equipment and clothing to Ukraine to help provide resources for recovery.

Area manager Matthew Sutcliffe told BBC Look North: “We’ve sent a number of fire engines since 2015 over there. These are end of life fire engines for us in Humberside, so we share them across Eastern Europe where we can.
“It’s an absolute tragedy what we saw yesterday. Firefighters there were using one of our old fire engines to protect the property but also save lives.”
"Absolute terrorism" – says @ZelenskyyUa and publishes a video of a deliberate missile strike on the Kremenchuk shopping center with people inside. Russian propaganda always lies: there is no coincidence, it is a deliberate blow to intimidate the population and mass victims. pic.twitter.com/Gx1f90cMta
During a regular nightly address to the nation on Monday, president Zelensky said: “The Russian missile hit this very object, purposefully. Obviously, that was the order. It is obvious that Russian assassins received such coordinates for this missile.
“They wanted to kill as many people as possible in a peaceful city, in a regular shopping mall.”
