.@aslavitt46 on #covid19 vaccine supply: We believe some health-care providers are regularly holding back doses that are intended as 1st doses & instead keeping as 2nd dose reserves. We understand why, but it does not need to happen and should not happen.
.@aslavitt46: With 3-week window of visibility into vaccine supply, states & health-care providers should have predictability & not feel they need to reserve 2nd doses to ensure they'll have them.
.@aslavitt46 says there was an overestimation made of how many people are in long-term care facilities, leading to more allocation of #covid19 vaccines in some cases than was needed.
