"if as reports suggest 8000 B747 size aircraft are needed to distribute the vaccine"

I've never seen the assumptions behind that figure

It looks like the total number of movements required to move enough vaccine to do the whole world. In fact it'll roll out over 6-12 months and a lot will go locally (eg across Europe & USA) and then by truck I suspect

Luckily there is a lot of spare capacity around right now
