Maybe we are waiting for J&J to return. My 18 year old son is. All CA college students are now required to be vaccinated. He’ll get it during the summer but is in no rush. Waiting for the lines to die down.
J&J shot would have been the best of the lot but it is morally and ethically compromised.
Lines?
I have not heard of / seen online any clinics anywhere near me (mid-South USA) with more demand than clinics could accommodate, for at least a month.
Recently I refigured an estimate I’d made a while back, assuming that my county’s two mass vacc clinics plus other resources (LTC vacs, pharmacies’ vacs at the pharmacies, etc.) could readily do a minimum of 1600 vaccinations a day, 6 days a week. (From what I saw at the largest clinic, the county could have easily expanded to 2000 shots a day, but, I’ll stay with the 1600, and, I’ll assume all residents get two shots.) This all assumes enough vaccine is available, which it certainly is now.
The county population is ~65,000 people, so, figure 130,000 shots if EVERYONE gets 2 shots. 130,000 / 1600 = 81.25 days, which is closer to 90 when you add in Sundays off. Knock off 20% who don’t get vaccinated, and allow for a gradual ramp up, and one is still looking at every person wanting the shots to have them in 4 months.
Us flyover people must be doing something right?
