That roughly means that one out of 150 million can get the full vaccination. Right now they’re not giving the second dose so that they can at least get twice as many people the first dose. That should hopefully change when they approve the one dose vaccine in the next few months.  There’s also the issue of who’s making all the decisions related to distributing the vaccine. The vaccine is made right here in Michigan, but we are getting some of the fewest doses. Apparently the federal government isn’t telling them who to ship doses to, and there really isn’t any clear direction to the states as what to do with them when they do get them. So the states are doing what they think they’re supposed to be doing. I’ve heard that the vaccine is just sitting in storage waiting for federal shipping directions. The states can only request doses and wait to see if they get them.

There was a rush to make the vaccine, but nobody thought about how to get it into the people. I think some syringes are reusable, like the glass ones your doctor probably uses, but today most syringes used for vaccines are the plastic disposable kind, where you throw it away after one use. If they start to grab all the disposable syringes for vaccinations, that will probably mean that people who have to self inject themselves at home (diabetics, etc.) are going to start finding it difficult to get the syringes they need.

There is supposedly a lot ( hundreds of thousands of doses) of vaccine in NY, but not much going into arms that are officially counted.  Perhaps if the right people are known, a bit of green moves you up the unofficial line.  Politicians cry the money blues as the reason it is not hitting arms faster. Politicians seem to easily get the vaccine.   Flu vaccine was distributed in record numbers this year, those people are now available to do the same with COVID.  I don’t see an excuse for not rapidly moving what is had into arms.  Oh yes, the soft ground is almost frozen enough to skid some logs without making a mess  with my D-14.
