President-elect Joe Biden outlined his administration s vaccination plan on Friday as the U.S. has seen more than 23 million confirmed coronavirus cases and over 392,000 deaths, according to NBC News.
So far, more than 11 million Americans, or 3% of the total U.S. population, have received their first shot. But rapid expansion of COVID-19 vaccinations to senior citizens across the U.S. has led to bottlenecks, system crashes and hard feelings in many states.
I told you the goal, a million will be vaccinated, he said. In ten days.
More than 2 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been shipped to local health departments and healthcare systems across the state. Yet, ABC7 s analysis found only 29 percent have actually been used. That s up slightly from 25 percent reported Thursday.
That has resulted in more than 1.4 million vaccines left waiting in warehouses or stuck in transit across California. I know, it s inexcusable, said Newsom.
The governor is working to provide flexibility at local levels so providers can start to administer vaccines within different tiers and cohorts. Newsom explained much of the backlog stems from network providers like third-party distributors, who are responsible for distributing a majority of the state s doses.
