Louisiana's performance on COVID-19 vaccine keeps worsening. It's now #46 out of 50, administering just 27.3% of supply (81,585 out of 299,325). Where is accountability for @LouisianaGov? My 90-year-old grandparents can't get vaccinated because their parish only has 200 shots!
Kentucky, state most similar in population to Louisiana, has an administration rate of 40.3% (107,799 out of 267,750).
What is going on @LADeptHealth? This is not a federal government issue. This is a state issue. People are dying. Get these shots out now.

. @theadvocatebr @NOLAnews has an investigation on how Louisiana's COVID-19 vaccine administration has been such a disaster:
"Many states have struggled with the rollout of their vaccines, but Louisiana has done particularly poorly." https://www.nola.com/news/coronavirus/vaccine/article_8019c840-52a5-11eb-96ed-876c719f7b82.html

"State officials also didn’t begin allowing more people to access the vaccine until after the doses were already piling up, leaving a surplus. In one case, more than 13,500 doses were left at the state’s Shreveport distributor for weeks..."
Dear God, Baton Rouge General is only administering 50 doses per day. What is going on?????
"Baton Rouge General has vaccinated about 1,600 of its 3,500 employees so far. Chief executive Edgardo Tenreiro said the hospital has managed to administer the doses to 50 people a day."
