Vaccine distribution update for those interested. Remember how I kept saying they have until Memorial Day until things are wide open?

Posted by MDH Mar 1 '21, 10:02

Pfizer: 14m/week by mid-March.
Moderna: 40m/month by April.
J&J (one dose): 20m doses in March. Expanded production after.

This would vaccinate 70M Americans in March and April - each. This would be enough to reach ~70% of the adult (age 16+) population by April 30.

        And with her couch luck, the vaccinatee might wind up in Arizona. -- nm* - Dano Mar 1, 10:44

  - Assholes here aren’t doing the Pfizer vaccine anymore (there was a snafu) but their stated reason is they can’t use 975 doses in one bunch. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:27 2
    - eek! -- nm - Pippy Mar 1, 10:33

Expected 50% vaccination date 7/11, 70% date 9/25, 90% 12/9 - and this uses the 7 day average of 877k. -- nm* - MDH Mar 1, 10:03
