This is one of the best explanations of efficacy I've read. Also talks about how the numbers among various manufacturers are a bit apples and oranges.

Yea, that was a stroke of genius on his part. Who would have ever thought that people could get vaccinated at a pharmacy?
Maybe they'll expand the program so you can get your influenza, shingles, or pneumonia vaccines at CVS or Walgreens. That would be great.
21 federally supported locations gave 2.5% of shots.
All the rest were administered via pharmacies, mass vaccination county and state sites, and hospital systems.
How many other sites were involved in that 97.5%? Hundreds? Thousands?
What was the distribution across those other entities?
edit: Found the info. Here's the money quote:
“It’s clear that Americans feel comfortable relying on their local pharmacies for the vaccine,” said one senior Biden health official. “The retail pharmacy program will keep growing and I think you will begin to see more people going down the block to CVS to get the shot than driving maybe an hour to the federal sites to get it.”
The old maxim "location, location, location" applies here.

It also helps that the pharmacies are now providing an easier way to set up an appointment. When they first started giving vaccines, Walgreens, CVS, and Jewel Osco made you look at appointments available at a single location on a given day. None available, move to another day. It was frustrating and tedious. Now they have the "show me the first available appointment for a location within 10 miles of me".
It's all about convenience.

Anyone read the letter from the DOE (not EPA)? Or the comments on the original tweet? Some useful information there.
I think you need to add the ".com" to those searches.
An entire Michigan county has flipped back to it’s historically republican roots after a manual recount of votes.
Officials with Antrim County posted updated results showing President Trump won the county with 9,783 votes making up 56.46% of ballots cast. Joe Biden earned 7,289 votes or 42.07%. The county initially “went blue” and showed a win for Biden before the error was discovered.
Antrim County officials have blamed the county’s election software saying totals counted did not match tabulator tapes. 6 News has learned the “Dominion Voting System” is used Antrim County.
That system is also used in 64 other counties across the state including, Ingham, Jackson, and Shiawassee, locally.
A spokesperson for Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, tells 6 News the skewed results were the result of a “county user error” not a software issue and there is no reason to believe similar errors with ballot counts happened anywhere else.
According to Tracy Wimmer, the issue would also have been identified during the certification of results by county canvassers if it had not already come to light.
Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum tells 6 News she also believes human error is likely to blame for the error in Antrim County and while Ingham County uses the Dominion system, she doesn’t have any concerns about accuracy. Byrum says multiple tests are done at the Ingham County level with in-house programmers well before election day. Byrum adds that local clerks also are required to do testing before the polls open."
