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?

The “mass vaccination” sites here in CA still have multiple hours of waiting in line—in your car—at least two hours door to door.
