Starting to misreport this due to misunderstanding distribution and inventory logistics. Must always be some inventory being re-shipped out to dozens of front line locations, plus a few days supply in inventory at each. These now seem growing in lockstep. https://www.thestar.com/politics/2021/01/14/a-look-at-covid-19-vaccinations-in-canada-on-thursday-jan-14-2021.html

Ottawa has brought firms like FedEx and Innomar into the process of scaling up vaccine distribution. They will squeeze a day or two out of supply chain logistics (such as eliminating need for re-bundling at intermediate locations). https://www.bizjournals.com/memphis/news/2020/12/29/fedex-innomar-canada-vaccine-distribution.html

Daily vaccine receipt, distribution, administration volumes are now 33,000/day, already 10X two weeks ago.
They will 4X again in February, from ~500k/month to 2 million.
And triple again to 6m/month in March or April.
If we wished to do this in 6 months, it must reach 10m/month.
