Another fly in the ointment is that the scaling up of vaccine production currently underway involves idling (part of) the production lines so that available vaccine is temporarily less than expected until production resumes at the new & higher levels, presumably sometime in February. This helps explain the reduction in deliveries to various countries and US states mentioned in the media during the last few days. The secrecy about all this maintained by various operatives in the Trump Administration didn’t help to alleviate the confusion.
Again, given that we'll be getting the injection at a hospital, they most likely ordered a number of the vaccine a while ago, and with the recent change here in the state of Washington allowing people age 70 and over to receive it, already had this planned. That's good for us.
