Just over 21,000 vaccine doses were reported administered in Texas in the last 24 hours, the latest in a series of fallbacks after severe weather has disrupted vaccination sites and reporting systems. The number of doses allocated to the state has not changed in 3 days. Image
In the last 24 hours, 46% of counties reported fewer than 10 doses administered. Compared with last Thursday, almost all counties are reporting fewer new doses administered by a large margin. It may take days for the infrastructure to recover and reporting to catch up. Image
"Any delays, the timing could not be worse," @PeterHotez said on @CNNTonight last night.
It's not just Texas. Neighboring states have reported significantly fewer doses administered compared with days preceding the winter storm. Such a backlog is now felt on both the supply (shipment delays) and demand (need to increase vaccination site hours) sides. Image

Will post more data in the coming days detailing how severe weather is affecting vaccine deliveries, as the White House announced today 6 million doses are backlogged and will be shipped very shortly. Deliveries and reporting systems are recovering — look at the green uptick. Image
North Dakota now leads the nation with 95% of shots used. This number will drop for all states as supply is replenished. Image

New Mexico leads the nation with 100.4% of delivered doses administered — this is most likely due to the counting of the sixth dose in Pfizer vials. The 7-day average is 1.62 million doses/day. Image
Many states did not report deliveries of doses due to severe weather.

Despite case counts subsiding nationally, many colleges and universities are seeing record-high case counts and multiple outbreaks, with some eclipsing fall semester case totals. While we have learned a lot from the fall, there are still additional measures we can take. Thread: Image
The universities selected for this analysis were chosen due to their recent attention in college media (in other words, there's no particular pattern for selection). From this table, we notice that colleges have been reaching case peaks ~14 days after the start of classes. Image
What does this mean? Based on the virus' incubation period and national transmission, we can assume that cases are imported when students return to campus. However, the vast majority of spread occurs when these imported cases spread to others within the first few days of class.

Vaccinating all teachers and safely reopening schools in April: @JReinerMD posted this tweet earlier in the day on the idea to use the first batch of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine to vaccinate all teachers. Short thread on the numbers and science:
While the CDC does not see vaccinating teachers as a prerequisite for reopening schools, @DrLeanaWen, @PeterHotez, and others have pushed for all teachers to be vaccinated. Today's @CNN analysis showed in 29 states all/some teachers are currently eligible.
Recent studies have shown that if precautions are followed, in-school spread is low, assuming schools invest in safety measures and community transmission is low. @meganranney has a great thread on the science here.

How to book a vaccination appointment in New York:

This thread will take you through the process of navigating the NYS/NYC vaccination landscape. Before you begin, have your personal details and insurance info (if applicable) ready.
covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov
First, be kind to others. Please, only book a vaccine appointment if you are currently eligible. Beginning today, New Yorkers with certain conditions are eligible to book appointments. Please check this list and prepare documentation (or self-attestation).
covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/phased-distrib…
Next, some differences. The New York State website books you at New York state-run sites (some of which are in New York City). NYC's Vaccine Finder is merely an aggregate site — it sends you to other pages (including pharmacies) to book your appointment.

Tips for booking a vaccine appointment in New York:
- When it says it opens new slots at 8, it doesn't.
- Once you get into the portal, scroll down for later slots. People cannot be bothered to look that far.
- The city vaccine finder is merely an aggregator, not a booking site.
This is the page to get to — once you fill out the eligibility criteria, you scroll down to select the time on that specific day. Just because a day is available on the previous page doesn't mean it is necessarily available (that would make too much sense).
New York — this link as the vaccine homepage is impossible to remember. The pre-screening tool is useless and does not save your information. Only use this once you confirm you are in an eligible group. Have your insurance info ready.
