Over 45 Million People Have Received The Vaccine.
The vaccination effort gains steam as more and more people receive the Coronavirus vaccination but supply problems persist. (Washington Post)
“Supplies of vaccine doses allocated to states are far below the expanding group of eligible people. States are struggling to make and keep appointments as supply trails demand. On the other hand, some states are falling behind vaccination goals because of resistance to taking the vaccine. At current rates, it will probably be months before the existing prioritized population is vaccinated. Doses are currently allocated for less than half of the priority populations identified by states.

Vaccine dissemination must the our number 1 national priority to ensure the nation can get back to a sense of normalcy sooner rather than later. The full weight of the Federal Government has to be put behind the efforts to manufacture more vaccines, period. The demand for the jab far outstrips the supply and the quicker more people are inoculated means the America can once again resume a regular daily existence. Unfortunately, the desired herd immunity will not come soon enough to save thousands of restaurant, theater, and travel jobs, but in time those industries may rebound. Lets hope.
