U.K. Will Start Immunizing People Against COVID-19 On Tuesday, Officials Say 👍🏽
(so, *when* are people of the US getting theirs? 👎🏽 )
@naikarrah earliest, my guess, is 12/14
...of 2021.
@naikarrah I’m hoping not. Locally I suspect by 12/21/20 they’ll roll them out to the 4 biggest hospital systems in ND for their staff. My hospital won’t get them til probably March 2021
@annamuneca
- the problems are distribution and storage due to the extreme cold needed, and very short shelf-life tolerance of the vaccines.
only f those issues have been *pre-addressed* can distribution roll out to any areas. There is -ZERO- coordination or official prioritisation at the Federal level, and states are just now realising they are not even close to being equipped yet.
@naikarrah 🤷🏻♀️ yep.
this is a terrific article giving much needed info about the logistics of shipping/storage/distribution
