I’ve been doing a bunch of reporting on vaccine distribution, and there are a few things that experts inside and outside the administration seem to agree on:
Welp, something failed in the posting here: let's try again!
1. The Trump administration did some real good with Warp Speed, but did very little planning for distribution. The situation the Biden admin walked into was chaotic.
2. The vaccine manufacturers remain confident that they can deliver the doses they’ve promised, and the expectation is supply will ramp considerably in coming weeks
3. Federal funds are needed, but there’s quite a bit the Biden admin can do to accelerate distribution through executive orders, personnel deployment, communication, etc
4. There’s also new vaccines that could come online soon — like AstraZeneca, or J&J — and different dosage regimes that could be considered if supply becomes the constraint
