America’s vaccines are in chaos
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved two new corona vaccines for emergency use in the United States, and they have been successively distributed throughout the United States. The first group of people vaccinated are medical personnel and groups living in long-term care institutions, such as nursing homes. Given the tight situation of the epidemic, the vaccines should have been distributed and vaccinated quickly, but the US media reported that the efficiency of vaccination in the United States was low and chaotic.
Lack of federal coordination to coordinate the vaccination chaos in the US.
The latest statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that, as of December 31, 2020, the United States had received more than 2.7 million doses of the new corona vaccine. However, by the end of December 2020, at least 20 million Americans had been vaccinated against the new corona vaccine. The goal is still far away.
“Washington Post” reported that each state does not have sufficient human resources and funds, and the state medical system cannot cope with the distribution of vaccines and vaccination.
In West Virginia on December 30, 42 people were supposed to receive their first injection of the new coronary pneumonia vaccine, but medical personnel injected them with antibodies to treat the new coronary pneumonia quickly. In Maine, although the local state government promised to spread the vaccine to medical workers as soon as possible, three weeks later, local doctors still don’t know when they can get the vaccine. In Tennessee, Ohio, Texas, and elsewhere, there has been a severe shortage of refrigeration equipment for vaccine storage.
Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said states need more help from the federal government.
Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases: The federal government should say that we should help state governments do this work, especially to give states more resources.
Health management experts also said that without a general plan, such confusion is inevitable.
Sharif Nahal, Health Management Expert: It is very unfortunate that there is no comprehensive national distribution plan, which will cause a lot of confusion. The task has been completely turned over to the state health department and medical institutions, and there has been a lot of confusion.
In response to this phenomenon, the President of the United States, Trump, “wrapped the pot” over the state government and posted on social media that he said: “The federal government has distributed the vaccine to the states and now the states are responsible for vaccination “.
The US media reported that many people originally expected vaccines to make their lives normal, but the chaotic situation of vaccine administration, distribution and vaccination left many people feeling that “hope is fading.”
Meiyi Pharmacist Arrested for Deliberately Overriding New Crown Vaccine
According to a January 1 New York Times report, a pharmacist at a medical institution in Wisconsin was arrested for deliberately sabotaging more than 500 doses of the new crown vaccine and faced multiple felony charges.
According to the report, the pharmacist worked at a medical center in Wisconsin of the medical service provider “Advocacy Aurora Healthcare” Group. On the night of December 24, 2020, he removed hundreds of doses of vaccine from the refrigerator and put it back in the refrigerator on the 25th day. The same trick was repeated that night, and the vaccine was left overnight at room temperature. again. On the 26th, the medical center found out and opened an investigation. On the 30th, the man admitted that he did so deliberately and was expelled.
A total of 57 vials of new corona vaccine were destroyed, and each vial contained 10 doses of vaccine, all of which expired due to the extra storage time at room temperature. When it was discovered, medical personnel had vaccinated 57 people with invalid vaccines. Although vaccine manufacturers have stated that people who have received ineffective vaccines have no other safety risks other than being unable to resist the new corona virus infection. However, the medical center is paying close attention to the physical reaction of vaccinators. The remaining 500 doses of ineffective vaccines have been discarded.
Currently, the man has been arrested on suspicion of compromising security, tampering with prescription drugs and destroying property.
“First come first serve” causes chaotic elders to queue all night
Recently, many American media have criticized that the vaccination work of the new crown in the United States has been delayed and is chaotic. In Florida, local implementation of the “first-come, first-served” principle for people over 65. In the state’s Lee County, many places continue to see the phenomenon of seniors queuing all night to get vaccinated . There are even people over 90 in the queue. Due to the low temperature at night, they also brought blankets and sleeping bags. According to the report, people started lining up for the second day at 2 p.m. Generally, the day’s vaccination cannot be scheduled at 7 am, and the vaccination point’s opening hours are 9 am. In addition to queuing, phone appointments for vaccination in some places are not easy and lines are often congested, making access impossible. The US media noted that lack of preparedness and insufficient funding from relevant government departments have led to the emergence of vaccination chaos.
