The US is following the correct vaccination protocol and saving second doses for issue 3-4 weeks after first doses, which accounts for a chunk of that*. The ability of states to put doses into arms is a second issue.Herainestold wrote: ↑Fri Apr 09, 2021 11:18 pmSo that leaves about 50 million doses "in the freezer"..In the US, 229,398,685 doses have been distributed so far, with 76% or 174,879,716 of the doses used.

That seems pretty low, tbh. Remember, there are no established logistics for this operation, and no national health service to rely on.
Is there any data on it? When I google it, I get stories about 1000 doses here, 200 doses there, but no hard figures on percentages.
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/21/heal ... tions.htmlAn unvaccinated health care worker set off a Covid-19 outbreak at a nursing home in Kentucky where the vast majority of residents had been vaccinated, leading to dozens of infections, including 22 cases among residents and employees who were already fully vaccinated, a new study reported Wednesday.
Most of those who were infected with the coronavirus despite being vaccinated did not develop symptoms or require hospitalization, but one vaccinated individual, who was a resident of the nursing home, died, according to the study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The state also recently instituted plans to allow a free beer, wine or cocktail to residents with proof of vaccination, the Washington Post reports.
Yes, some more here on the slow pace of vaccinationmonkey wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 6:27 pmSo the Delta Variant is now the predominant one in the US, we're catching up!
Where I am still only 35% of people are fully vaccinated and still less than 50% have had at least one shot (might be more if you exclude children from the population count). Cases and hospitalisations are on the up, after being at a minima last month. I am expecting deaths to start rising soon, but it might be a while before we notice, they can be slow at reporting.
It's not looking good from where I'm sitting. I think there is a good chance the hospitals get overwhelmed. Nearly happened last winter, and there were mask laws and whatnot back then.
At least Fauci telling Rand Paul to f.ck off (in nicer terms, because it was a senate hearing) cheered me up a bit - "Senator Paul, you do not know what you are talking about ... if anyone here is lying it is you". Rand Paul's such a nobend.
https://twitter.com/ashishkjha/status/1 ... 95360?s=21Vaccinations have fallen off a cliff
We are now administering about 500K shots a day -- half of them 2nd shots
At this rate, it'll take about another year to get to 80% fully vaccinated
Those numbers imply that the UK's vaccinated population is (60/15)/(40/85) = 8.5 times less likely to catch it.
It will take longer than that in this state, if it ever gets that high. My back of the fag packet estimate is 2.5 -3 years. Population is about 5 million, so they need to give out about 8 million doses. They've done 3.3 million. So about 5 million left, but they're now only doing about 5,000 /day. 1000 days is 2.7 years.Woodchopper wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 8:00 pmYes, some more here on the slow pace of vaccination

I muddled up different things and was wrong to say the figures were cases, should have said hospitalization. We have no stats on cases numbers by vacc status. But we have exact figures for hospital admissions.bolo wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 8:32 pmThose numbers imply that the UK's vaccinated population is (60/15)/(40/85) = 8.5 times less likely to catch it.
In Virginia, in the past month, there have been 416 cases in fully vaccinated people and 15,018 in the rest of the population. (source again) At about 50-50 fully vaccinated versus not, that means the fully vaccinated population is 15,018/416 = 36 times less likely to catch it.
So vaccination looks a lot better here, if your numbers are correct. Maybe this is the mRNA vaccines being more effective than the Astra Zeneca? Or maybe your UK numbers for vaccinated cases include people who are only partially vaccinated?
Obvs admissions will be strongly biased to old people, who are 95% double jabbed, whereas UK cases are currently strongly biased to children and 18-30 who are zero or one dose vaccinated.Correcting a statistic I gave at the press conference today, 19 July. About 60% of hospitalisations from covid are not from double vaccinated people, rather 60% of hospitalisations from covid are currently from unvaccinated people.
I don't know. I'm not worried about them. I'm worried about us.
Depends where you are.
FWIW, the Virginia numbers for hospitalizations during the same period, from the same source, are 804 hospitalizations not fully vaccinated, 32 hospitalizations fully vaccinated, so 804/32 = 22.3 times less likely to be hospitalized. So still quite different from the UK numbers. Also 148 deaths not fully vaccinated, 2 fully vaccinated, so 74 times less likely to die (with a lot of uncertainty given that 2 is a small number).
Indeed. And on top of the US-UK differences that lpm mentioned with respect to closures, social distancing, and masking, there are differences in the age profile of who has been vaccinated. For example, in my county, where 63% of all resident are at least partially vaccinated, that includes 71% of residents aged 12-17.

However, the data cannot be used like that. If you look at the vaccine trials you'll find that the unvaccinated control group caught the disease at a far lower rate than the general population. This is because people who volunteer for such studies are not representative. Similarly, once vaccines are widely offered to the public, those who get vaccinated are significantly different than those who don't, so you cannot draw conclusions that say the vaccination was the cause of a subsequent difference which has been observed.bolo wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 8:32 pmThose numbers imply that the UK's vaccinated population is (60/15)/(40/85) = 8.5 times less likely to catch it.
