I'm a little confused.
We have just under 10 million folks in the state. We have to get to ~70% to get "herd immunity", so we have to get about 7 million vaccines. That also lines up pretty good with an earlier estimate that I saw from the State that if we focused on the high-risk and the front line folks mostly, and then got a chunk of the general population, we could get 7 million vaccinated by the Aug/Sept period.
I see (via the State's own website) that we've received 1.8 Million doses, but only have administered 1.2 million, yet I hear folks complaining all the time that we can't "go faster" because we don't have the inventory. We haven't been catching up to the supply since we first started getting vaccine shipments, and it's pretty clear the shipments are going to ramp up even further when the J&J and Atrazenica (which are imminent) and the others get approved (there are 18 more trials going on in the USA now). If we haven't been catching up in the last couple weeks, how does anyone expect we'll do better in the future??
Also, it's only been a little over a month since we've seriously been rolling out what we have. We've done 1.2M so far, which would be about 17% of the 7M goal, or 12% of the total state, but I only see an 8% number advertised. If we're at 17% of the 7M goal, shouldn't it take only 6 months to effectively get to "herd immunity" even at the current rate??
EDIT: just rechecking some numbers, and part of that 1.2M is second doses.... about 250K. So we've only done about a million individuals.

Vaccine rollout
Re: Vaccine rollout
Consider yourself fortunate. Our dumb ass Liberal government in Canada forgot to order a supply of vaccine until it was too late. Now they tell us they'll be ready to roll out a made in Canada vaccine some time in 2023.
I don't mean to brag, but I just put a puzzle together in 1 day and the box said 2-4 years.
Re: Vaccine rollout
A few things to consider...
It takes time for the data to get back to the state. So 1.8 doses have been delivered, 1.2 have been verified to have made it into arms, 600,000 are in the process. We get our doses every Friday in our county. It take a week to get them into arms. It take a few more days to get the data back into the state database. There's your lag.
Then you have 3 distribution channels; State to health department, Federal to Hospitals, Federal to Nursing Homes.
Hope this helps.

Re: Vaccine rollout
Astra Zeneca and Johnson&Johnson are going to be authorized shortly which will accelerate this process. I expect we reach 70% by July 4th, provided that a few anti vaxxers change their mind(which some will).

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Re: Vaccine rollout
Canada's been trying to handle COVID like Australia and New Zealand (making international and interstate travel all but illegal, therefore forcing snowbirds to suffer through a Canadian winter) and they've failed
