Remember all the pissing and moaning about the logistics of the Trump Administration trying to deliver vaccines?
Haven't seen any stories about major logistical foul-ups.
Score another one for Trump...

I’m no expert but I would imagine the real concern is the ‘last mile’, and problems won’t be apparent until it scales.

Part of the scaling problems go away, as vaccines with less rigorous storage requirements are approved.
I also suspect that problems of scale have already been addressed and while nothing this big works perfectly, I do think distribution problems will occur on the state end, not the Fed's end.

I saw somewhere Jim Cramer predicting a vaccine glut by April. The key is to do this as fast as possible. To many in hospitals a fear is the tracking and compliance for the second shot. So it’s even possibly at a more granular level than states even.

Hopefully the new administration won’t view it as someone else’s problem
You can't micromanage the world. Remember, you were the Trump Dictator guy.
Can't have it both ways...

Here's a problem you haven't even thought of...What about the guys that work at multiple hospitals?
And what about agency healthcare?

Indiana’s website crashed today, too many healthcare workers trying to schedule for the vaccine.
Great sign that the very conservative state of Mike Pence fame has such demand.
Maybe we can use AI to figure out where the anti-vaxxers are to focus our public health messages on them.

First guy in our area got his shot yesterday. He was a sixty-something ED physician.
If I understood that hospital's roll-out, it was ED, Med ICU and Med-Surg. Age and comorbidities figured into allocation, with doctors ahead of nurses and other staff.
Made sense to me.

There's a gay comic named James Adomian who titled an album that way.
