News: A Pentagon system set up for states to keep track of coronavirus vaccines had outdated, inaccurate projections for deliveries, leading governors to think they would receive far more doses than will arrive in the coming days. https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/coronavirus/article247935785.html
Thursday's confusion stems from Tiberius, a Defense Department system that went online months ago so that states could begin learning how to use its modules. The old planning numbers were kept in the system throughout last week. https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/coronavirus/article247935785.html
Governors first learned of the discrepancy when they placed new orders with the CDC in recent days, scrambling to update next week's distribution plans – without an explanation from the federal government. https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/coronavirus/article247935785.html
“Everything in Tiberius was for planning purposes, not official allocations – and they clearly did not make that clear to states.” https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/coronavirus/article247935785.html
Officials with Operation Warp Speed denied that allocation numbers were ever cut, but didn't explain why governors were left with the impression they'd be getting more shipments next week than they actually are. https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/coronavirus/article247935785.html
