Take it when you're asked to, please, and keep things moving.
Fair enough.

I have a lot of medical field friends. Seems almost all of them get theirs in the past few days.
Not sure about my roommate. He's medical field but works in a lab, not a hospital. He hasn't mentioned it to me yet but I imagine he'll get it before I do since he still has to go to the office/lab everyday.

Fucking Stanford did it again.
Stanford Medicine: 'Inaccurate information' led to more non-frontline workers getting COVID vaccine
I'm starting to suspect that it's not a mistake.

So it’s the last day of the year
We’re at 2.7M administered doses. :rofl
Might even get 1% of the nation vaccinated before years end :laughing

So, in other words, this is a world record breaking fast response to a pandemic that the world has never even come close to seeing the likes of. :thumbup
Ya know, just trying to keep things in perspective here.

I always said supply wasn’t going to be the constraint.
Over 20M doses have been delivered to the states, the extent of the logistics provided by Operation Warp Speed.
Florida decided to publicly announce that the vaccine would be available in 7 counties. People got in que for hours only to learn that each county only had 300 doses available.

Very odd.
I guess if Healthcare workers pass on the vaccine I may not have to wait as long but it doesn't bode well for the 70 percent goal.

Then you have stupid MF's who are also selfish.
Wisconsin health-care worker 'intentionally' ruined more than 500 coronavirus vaccine doses, hospital says
WTF is wrong with people?
How did one hospital even get that many doses? Only to have that happen.

This person needs to be charged with a crime and get thrown into prison for a long time.

They took a technology they have been working on for +10 years and threw a fuck ton of money at it. Under a year is still shocking but here we are. :applause
It's actually going pretty much as expected. They will iron this out within the next month and get a good cadence going. As long as supply chain stays intact, I still feel that pretty much any American that wants to get one, will be able to around June.

They're part of a 6,500 bed / 30 Hospital system...

If the vaccine was delivered to states according to their population, Wisconsin should have received a total of 352 doses for the entire state based upon 20 million doses.

That's not how it's being dispersed though. It's far more complex.
First you have to apply to administer the vaccine and provide a bunch of documentation, that the gov already has
- Address and contact information
- Days and hours of operation
- Vaccination provider type (e.g., medical practice, pharmacy, LTCF)
- Settings where vaccine will be administered (e.g., hospital, university, temporary or off-site clinic)
- Number of patients/clients served
- Influenza vaccination capacity during the peak week of the prior (2019–2020) influenza season
- Populations served (e.g., pediatric, adult, military, pregnant women)
- Current IIS reporting status
- Vaccine storage unit capacity in volume and ability to maintain required temperatures
And then the region proves "administration capacity" which is defined as the maximum achievable vaccination throughput regardless of public demand for vaccination. If a jurisdiction has a good understanding of its COVID-19 vaccination providers and locations and their vaccine administration capacities, then planners can generate rough estimates of COVID-19 vaccine administration capacity in their jurisdiction and their ability to reach various COVID-19 vaccination coverage goals.
When you are the largest healthcare system in both IL and WI, you group everything together and submit as 1. Then you get lots of vaccines.
So if you were first in line AND had the ability as described you got lots else you got little.

AZ-Ox vaccine update:
Recently determined a half dose followed by a full dose regimen to be 90% effective. This doubles the first dose distribution opportunity. It is effective against the new variant as well. Approved by UK MHRA yesterday, expected to be approved in the US by the end of next week.
200M doses by tonight, 700M by March, 3B by end of 2021.
Refrigerator stable.
$2.50 a dose v $15-$25 Pfizer-Moderna
US has secured 300M doses with an additional 200M down the pipe.
