Be about three years to vaccinate all of the adults in the USA at this rate. But that rate will go up. We need to vaccinate about 6 times the amount of people we have been vaccinating per day every day to get every adult vaccinated by end of June. Definitely can be done if we as a country set out minds to it.

The lag is real
But we can look at it as both a challenge and an opportunity.
We should...actually

Going forward I don’t think the US will need to worry about unfunded tax cuts for the unforeseeable future...

This should help.
Biden will release all available vaccine doses, breaking from Trump administration policy of holding back stock for second dose
The U.S. government currently withholds 50 percent of the available vaccine supply, distributing to states and other jurisdictions weeks later to be administered as the second in a 2-dose series.

It would once we are able to get the doses already distributed into people arms. I expect it will happen at some point.This should help.

If they distribute the shots to locations that do not have the ability to store all of the additional shots and do not have the ability to administer the shots in time before spoilage that would not be good.
Someone has to have a little bit of a buffer (Whether federal, state or local), but not too much redundancy for unexpected logistical delays.

But they have to get whatever is needed (mostly money) to the Frontlines to get the syringes pumping

Our county health department just received the go ahead for Moderna distribution and appointments opened at 9am. They were full within 30 minutes.
They only plan Tuesday & Wednesdays 1-7pm till the end of the month starting next week due to the limited quantities.
Limited to first responders who have in-person contact with the public, coroners and funeral directors who have in-person contact with infectious material and licensed and unlicensed health care workers who have in-person contact with patients or infectious material in any health care setting. And anyone 80 and older.
They are also looking into using the high school once it's more widely available. It's possible considering they organized shot clinics at each school this summer because so many usually go to the health department for immunizations. Took them a week to get through the 5 elementaries, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, limited to 1 adult per child since they had to deal with distancing. Obviously not every grade had kids needing shots, but it worked well to push through a large group.

Agreed, US taxes will only go in one direction. Up..... Well maybe not for Big Tech. Only time will tell...Not until after they’re repealed

FTFY. I realize people take money, but we have a good bit of people on reserve, so to speak.
I’ve been thinking about the patient end distribution quite a bit, actually. It’s been a topic in here for a couple days and I have this week off from work.
If hospitals would agree to cut elective surgeries by even 25% for a month, that frees up nurses and STA staff significantly. Not just in the OR, but throughout the perioperative arena. Stagger the services that get the blocks of time so no one service takes the brunt of the payment hit. Some of them maybe haven’t given injections en masse in some time, but they’re highly trained and there’s a bit of a “riding a bike” component to it. If we’re suggesting nursing students step up and get experience, I’d just as happily have Venita with 40+ years practical nursing skill a stab at it.
After that month, retail pharmacies and other outlets should have caught up enough that hospitals can go back to business as usual. Then we continue distribution through the traditional vaccine pipeline.
It’s one suggestion, but we need to figure something out to make a dent in these numbers quickly.

Yep. It should be viewed as a way to “jump the line.” Oh, and help humanity, of course.Now Enrolling: Phase 3 Novavax Trial for COVID-19 – Patient Worthy

A bit harder for companies to get people to enroll in a Phase 3 covid vaccine study when there are effective vaccines out there. But not everyone can easily get to the vaccines that are currently out there.

Looks like the NYC mayor got what he wanted from the NYS governor in regards to allowing more groups to get vaccinated.

And here’s where the pearl clutching begins.
It is about money...it shouldn’t be...but it is.
If that’s what it takes to extend operating hours, overtime for nurses and delivery workers, going door to door. Whatever.
But let’s not celebrate the quest for money all the other times and situation...mostly notably by and for use on Disney...and patronize ourselves with fake outrage now.
Fund it. Get it done.

I get what you’re saying. I’m just offering a plan that doesn’t require overtime and utilizes staff already hired to avoid new hires and training for a short term solution. They could do it now and worry about funding in CMS cleanup payments later.

Where do I sign for ANY functioning plan??
We don’t have one right now.
I love Walgreens... but putting them in charge of saving the economy and keeping schools open might be a stretch
