I think this was Biden’s plan; he seemed to think DJT was not doing things correctly by holding back enough for 2nd doses.
I suppose there is a risk that the vaccinations are going along TOO well, and risking that the masking and lockdowns might eventually END, unless they can disrupt access to vaccinations.
There’s a window of several weeks between doses that have been tested and found to be a complete non-issue. These people just need to get their second dose in the next few weeks.

This is a manufactured “emergency”. Feel free to ignore.
BIDEN BOTCHED THE ROLLOUT,!
Say it loud and say it long.
“So after the first shot is where the fun really begins.”
We have relatives across the country, age wise should have been basically automatic for the 1st vaccine.
Some are still trying.
Some after getting their first shot, then have no ideal when they will get their second shot.
One 75 year old SIL got her first one yesterday. When she was waiting for her 15 minutes to be over, she asked the RN who gave her the shot to sign her up for her #2 shot.
Our SIL was told that they could not do that, and that she would be called before 42 days for her second shot.
Which meant that the shot givers have no idea when the second shots would arrive.
So did that state over promise with the first shots in hopes of getting the second shots before the time limit passed?
Not getting the second shot is an avenue to vaccine associated Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) IMO. Your neutralizing antibodies will be low and when faced with mutant variety, there’s no telling what might happen. This is what causes ADE with Dengue Virus. The first time you get it it, it tends to be mild. But when you get a second time after your antibodies have fallen to a certain range, you get the fatal ADE form. High levels of neutralizing antibodies are protective against this.
I received my first dose from Sutter Health three weeks ago and scheduled my second dose at that time. I got my second shot yesterday at Sutter in Roseville, CA and it went very smoothly. No line like at the first dose.
According to the UT, 307,000 people in San Diego County, most of them elderly, need their second shot; and many of them are having their appointments cancelled or rescheduled. Mrs P. Henry and I have had our appointments rescheduled twice. Much of this chaos is attributable to Governor Nuisance, who has diverted 50% of our vaccine supply to teachers and “disadvantaged zip codes,” most of which are in LA or the Central Valley.
So after the first shot is where the fun really begins.
