Note how short the J&J bar is … only 2.5 million doses have been administered since the vaccine was approved.
That’s only about 60% of the 4.25 million doses that have already been distributed to the states.
What’s going on?
According to Politico…
J&J’s single-shot Covid vaccine was supposed to be the catalyst for the country’s return to normal.
Instead, it’s sparking confusion and finger-pointing between the states and the Biden administration over why millions of doses are sitting unused.
Almost three weeks after the Food and Drug Administration authorized the shots, no one appears to be able to explain why immunizations are lagging.
Some states are thought to be intentionally holding back shots, while others say it takes time to inoculate harder-to-reach underserved communities and specific groups.
Politico’s central conclusion: The bumpy J&J rollout highlights the challenges the White House still faces ensuring a timely and steady administration of Covid-19 vaccines.
The initial J&J experience may be a proverbial “canary in the coal mine” … simply a precursor of what’s to come.
To that point…
