There is a legal gap that some people use to get their COVID vaccine early – BGR

• The rate of deployment of the coronavirus vaccine has so far been horribly slow, so federal officials have begun pushing countries to issue a few doses of COVID vaccine on a first-come, first-served basis.
  
• The slow rate of vaccination of vaccines, as well as the very detailed treatment that health professionals are supposed to follow in terms of the order of who can be vaccinated, means that some doses of vaccines are at risk of expiring on the shelf.
• To date, just over 5 million coronavirus vaccine doses have been administered in the United States.

Where I live, in the state of Tennessee, so far 169,000 doses of coronavirus vaccine have been administered, equivalent to 2.48 doses of the vaccine administered for every 100 residents of the state. This is according to the Bloomberg and it’s still not nearly enough to make a difference in the pandemic, but it’s still a better rate than many other countries see – like California, which administered only 1.16 doses of coronavirus vaccine for every 100 residents of the state.

Overall, the U.S. has administered a little over 5 million doses nationwide since vaccinations began a little less than a month ago. This comes as the country set a high point in the daily death toll from COVID-19 on Tuesday, when more than 3,770 Americans were reportedly killed by the virus, according to the COVID tracking project. This gives greater urgency to the task of vaccinating the country, and for the latest look at how it is going, depending on the statistics you are looking at, there are now a little less than 30% of the vaccine doses given by the federal government to states. administered. And because of the somewhat glacial rate of vaccine deployment, federal officials are quietly encouraging states to issue more vaccine doses in such a way that it creates a kind of loophole for people to be vaccinated early.

Federal officials attached to the White House’s Coronavirus Task Force, as well as Operation Warp Speed ​​Vaccination Program, said countries where vaccines would otherwise be lost due to the supply chain and other problems, people should only be vaccinated on a first-come, first-served basis. -first -managed base. This is according to a report Tuesday of The Daily Beast, noting that the problem here is that some of these vaccine doses tend to expire before they can be used.

Remember that health professionals follow strict protocols to vaccinate only narrow groups of approved persons at a time. If you are not elderly, if you do not have health problems, and if you are not currently working in a few specific industries, you should still wait to get the COVID vaccine. Not only is the explosion of the vaccine deliberately slow, but there are other factors that drag it out: it includes everything, from some health professionals who say they do not want to take the vaccine, and that some approved people simply do not show up for their appointed vaccination.

There are already scattered reports of some people hanging around on vaccines near the end of the day, assuming that health workers may have excess doses that could be in danger of expiring – and these people who have just arrived could therefore be vaccinated.

This type of ad hoc, a first-come-first-served approach, potentially increases the months of planning as well as the detailed treatment that vaccinations are supposed to follow. But according to the report of The Daily Beast, it may be ‘one of the only ways to ensure that millions of vaccine doses do not expire on the shelf.’
