The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be one of the most significant challenges our country has ever faced. As a nurse practitioner working on the front line, I’ve seen firsthand how this pandemic has overwhelmed many local hospitals.
The U.S. vaccine rollout hasn t been perfect, but states and cities have worked to ramp up distribution and make sure vaccines don t expire. Now they re worried the distribution could get ahead of the supply. Some health-care providers and cities say they are running out of doses within a few days of getting their weekly allocation, a change from a couple of weeks ago, when local vaccinators had trouble keeping up with the supplies they were getting.
