In order to be a vaccine provider in philly, months long application process, hours of webinar (mid-day), upload vaxx administered, wasted, in stock to 2 different websites every 24 hours, unpredictable allocation from local DOH, 30 day expiration in a -4 fridge. 1/

After we vaxxed everyone who wanted vax in the practice, walked to almost every business <1mile, street cleaning crews, random passerby’s etc .. declining demand / reg. requirements made it 2 hard to maintain vax stock.
Federal allocation schemes that have wide popular support generally favor big players that can navigate regulatory thicket, grease the right wheels to get early disbursements of product, (and make a small killing doing it)
Alternative approach : allow direct purchase from manufacturers.. has problems, but not sure it’s worse when it comes down to end goal ( get vax out to as many arms as possible )
