How do We Roll Out the Vaccine Faster?

    Some will look at the rollout, and say it is a nightmare -- was so in the Trump administration and continues so a week into the Biden era.

   Two things: Simplify the rollout, and look down the pipeline for more vaccinations. When I say simplify: reduce the paperwork, the computer-work, the qualification process, the necessity of phone calls, and the need for back-and-forth contacting, etc. You only create bottlenecks and lines with the regulation we are having. Take the policy of limiting it to those 70 or older, what happens when you come to a nursing home and give it to those who are of age, but not to the rest of the residents? You have to keep track of who has had it and who hasn't, and you have to come back to that facility and do it again. It would be simpler just to give it to all the residents of the facility if you give it to any at all. Take the lot of them, and be done. 

   Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca each have vaccines. How far down the pipeline are others? How many doses from Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca do we have? Could they get us more? How quick? They are already approved, so if they could just roll out some more, that would be beneficial. Why does it take so long just to manufacture more of a thing that is already approved? 

   Bless us that we move along faster.
