COVID-19 vaccinations are going poorly in MA. I'm quoted in the Boston Globe
For months we've been focused on the shortage of COVID-19 vaccine doses. That's still a problem, but for now the bottlenecks are further downstream. Massachusetts is struggling to get the doses distributed and administered. More than half sit unused. Even if we have 10 million (or a billion) doses we'd still be stuck.In today's Boston Globe (State's hope of vaccinating almost everyone by the end of summer depends on a lot going right) I encourage the state to assume there will be enough vaccines and just get them out to people.
“We’re only using half of what we’ve been given,” said David Williams, president of Health Business Group, a Boston management consulting firm. “It’s not an excuse to say because supplies are slow, we can just sit back. We should assume there’ll be more supply, and we owe it to the citizens of Massachusetts to be ready when it comes.”
