A decline in daily Covid-19 vaccination rates has left US public health authorities with a new problem – how to effectively shrink operations.
In the campaign to immunize all American adults against the coronavirus, most of the difficulties to date have involved overwhelming demand and restricted supply. Now, with less than one-third of Americans fully vaccinated, local public health authorities described a sense of whiplash as they pivot from mass vaccination clinics to outreach campaigns, all within a couple of weeks.

MASSACHUSETTS It s Friday, April 30. Here s what you should know this afternoon:
Cape Cod health officials are hunting down people to get vaccinated, marking a 180-degree shift from when residents had to spend hours online to secure an appointment.
A Massachusetts man was sentenced this week in Boston federal court in connection with selling a pesticide-coated lanyard that falsely claimed to protect against COVID-19 and other viruses.
HYANNIS Paula Borowski, of Hyannis, was eager to get immunized against COVID-19, but she dreaded the idea of having to travel to a mass vaccination site off-Cape or spending hours online trying to book an appointment.
As full-time head baker at the Cottage Street Bakery in Orleans who also works one day a week at Buckies in Dennisport, Borowski, 64, has precious little time to chase vaccines.
It turned out that getting her first shot of Pfizer was a piece of cake.
Close to noon on Tuesday, Borowski walked into a vaccination clinic at the Barnstable Adult Community Center in Hyannis and found herself one of the only patients among what seemed like a small sea of vaccinators.
