By The Numbers - part the fifth

See, now if wannaBePresident Huey Long 2024 and his minions didn't have, as their main strategy, to punish Blue States, they could have taken a national plan with everything Covid related, but particularly getting vaccine into arms. So now, a few weeks into Sleepy Joe's administration, someone there has finally had a brainstorm, "Hey guys, why not have shots in pharmacies JUST LIKE WE ALWAYS DO FOR FLU SHOTS?"

Well, here's a report
Shipments of Covid-19 vaccines will be headed to pharmacies next week under a federal program that aims to get more people vaccinated quickly.
Of course, when Pfizer was the only game in town, such a plan appeared impossible, given the refrigeration demands of that vaccine. It was in all the fake news media. But there were some reports (this from a month ago) that pharmacies could be locales, but not all.
Once vials of the Pfizer vaccine are put into regular fridges at your local pharmacy, Levi said, "you have about five days to actually use it." Retail chains, therefore, will have to predict how high demand will be at each store so they don't end up wasting doses.
Do you recall all the cat calls, particularly from wannaBePresident Huey Long 2024 zealots that 100 million doses in 100 days was impossible? If you actually know how to plan logistics, and care to do so, it can be done. The next, or perhaps first, step is ramping up supply to exercise the logistics.
