Last week, my partner was able to walk in off the street to get the Pfizer vaccine. I wasn’t able to attend with her.
This week, walk ins are no longer being accepted for Pfizer, nor are initial bookings being taken as the supply of Pfizer vaccine is not assured.
With the 50-60 bracket now being steered towards the Pfizer jab, the wait for those in younger age groups will be much longer than anticipated.
Crux of the issue is federal vaccine procurement and distribution amongst the states.
