    Default Biden to pooch up vaccine distribution

    Biden will aim to release nearly every available dose of the coronavirus vaccine when he takes office, a break with the Trump administration's strategy of holding back half of US vaccine production to ensure second doses are available.
    Releasing nearly all vaccine doses on hand could quickly ratchet up the availability of coronavirus vaccines by allowing more people access to a first dose.
    It could also be a risky strategy as both Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna's vaccines require two doses, administered at specific intervals, and vaccine manufacturing has not ramped up as rapidly as many experts had hoped.
    "The President-elect believes we must accelerate distribution of the vaccine while continuing to ensure the Americans who need it most get it as soon as possible. He supports releasing available doses immediately, and believes the government should stop holding back vaccine supply so we can get more shots in Americans' arms now," said TJ Ducklo, a spokesman for Biden's transition. "He will share additional details next week on how his Administration will begin releasing available doses when he assumes office on January 20th."

    But Azar said Friday that he worries that might backfire if manufacturing goes wrong.
    "We have product that is going through QC right now -- quality control -- for sterility, identity check -- that -- we have tens and tens of millions of product. We always will. But batches fail. Sterility fails. ... And then you don't have a product for that second dose," Azar told the American Hospital Association, according to a transcript released by HHS.
    "And frankly, talking about that or encouraging that can really undermine a critical public health need, which is that people come back for their second vaccine," he said.

    Michael Pratt, a spokesman for Operation Warp Speed, pushed back against the transition's plan.
    "If President-Elect Biden is calling for the distribution of vaccines knowing that there would not be a second dose available, that decision is without science or data and is contrary to the FDA's approved label.

    If President-Elect Biden is suggesting that the maximum number of doses should be made available, consistent with ensuring that a second dose of vaccine will be there when the patient shows up, then that is already happening," Pratt said.

    He continued, "Second-dose management was always about ensuring supply chain availability. Operation Warp Speed monitors manufacturing closely, with the intent to transition from reserving as many second doses as manufacturing further stabilizes with a consistent flow of vaccines. Our top priority remains maximizing availability of safe and effective vaccines to the American people responsibly, fairly and equitably."

    it sounds good, but leaves a 2nd dose less secure. better would be for the states (especially NY) to loosen their protocols

    i think biden's plan makes more sense. whoever has been in charge so far has failed. only idiots see bad results and believe nothing needs to be changed. we elected biden by a huge margin, and he is listening to experts and scientists. it is better this way.

    Thats all fine and good,, but there is no shortage of vaccine -it's grandstanding..and if there any quality control issues, then there are no reserves

    Not a bad idea.

    If it’s Biden’s worst idea we’ll be blessed indeed lol. The problem though is a lot of choke points are happening on the state level. And, it remains to be seen if a significant number of people take it to get us to herd immunity.

    It's a gamble without a payoff
