- Read the whole thread on slow US #vaccine rollout from @ashishkjha - no money, no mandate, no planning, few shots (despite some supply) while thousands die each day. The relief bill finally provides some funding but the rest will take time...So a lot of chatter happening on the slow vaccine roll out Personally, I'm incredibly frustrated. Did we not know that vaccines were coming? Is vaccine administration a surprise? Several complex issues so lets break things down a bit Warning, this is a bit of a rant Thread
- Not enough. Manufacturing is medium term, this is an emergency. Call for C19 summit, make global pact to buy vaccines and vaccinate using MDB financing, donate surplus vax, set up military & humanitarian coop to help care for sick & dying. Get ready bc it’s getting worse. Lead.The COVID-19 pandemic makes this year’s World Immunization Week especially significant. Among our efforts, we have contributed $2 billion to @gavi and we are working with partners to increase global manufacturing capacity so more people can get vaccinated quickly. #VaccinesWork
