1,403,510 doses distributed as of today in BC
985,001 doses given as of today
946,096 doses given as of yesterday
That's 38,905 doses per day and 418,509 doses in storage. Is it just me or am I missing something? That seems awfully slow given the near state of national emergency we're in.
The CDC assumes 1.5 - 2 people per station in a mass vaccination. It assumes 30 jabs per station per hour which meshes with a breakdown of what I know of our local region. We're scheduled to start mass vaccinating on April 12 and I know of people scheduled as late as the 22nd. That'll be 360 people per day....two health workers in other words.
https://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/vaccination/pdf/A_Wortley_H1N1_sample_clinic.pdfMaybe I just watch to many movies but I was kind of expecting a couple armed forces planes landing at the local airport with 30 soldiers setting up mass vaccination tents with 20 stations within an hour and people lined up waiting outside ready to go...they'd be done by the end of the day and off too Haida Gwaii or somewhere by sunset. Instead it sounds like they're only sending a couple of nurses to administer 360 doses a day...they might as well get in a little surfing and trail hiking while they're here. There's no need to rush apparently. If this is going to take months apparently it's not because of distribution issues.
