It was 8 days ago that the Moderna vaccine was approved. I am unable to find any indication that it has arrived in Santa Clara County or Los Angeles County.
SCC's twitter feed and web pages do not indicate any arrival. The Mercury News doesn't indicate any arrival.
LA County seems to have removed the link to their vaccine dashboard from the page on the vaccine. I don't see the link at the their COVID Surveillance Dashboard The dashboard hasn't been updated in 9 days. Their latest (Dec. 21) press release on the vaccine speaks of anticipating the arrival of 165K doses (116,600 Moderna; 48,750 Pfizer).
WHY ISN'T THE MEDIA ASKING WHERE IT IS?
When I look at Google News, I see no questions asked. When I look at the Mercury News, I see no questions asked.
If the government is shipping it, the county health departments should be working as hard as possible to get it into those at risk of DYING.
LA County suffered 427 deaths from Dec. 21 to Dec 24. Obviously those deaths wouldn't be prevented by the vaccine, but future deaths could have been. If 10M people are having 100 deaths a day, how many excess deaths do we expect to die in SCC, in California, in the US by a 1-day delay in getting the vaccine into arms? by 7 days?
On 12/23, OWS indicated they allocated 7.9M doses of vaccine (not just Pfizer, as mis-reported in print on that web page) of which 7.8 was to be shipped by 12/24. On the 3rd week (last partial week in Dec.), they are planning to allocate 4.67M doses (2.67M P, 2M M), for a total of 15.47M in December to early January (vs 20M they were hoping for).
So, if it was 2.9M shipped the first week and 7.8M shipped by 12/24, that should be 10.7M shipped by 12/24.
As of the morning of 12/26, the CDC claims that 9.5M doses have been shipped and 1.9M have been vaccinated. (4.6M shipped by 12/21 was the only previous posting).
[sarcasm]What's 0.8M more or less?[/sarcasm]
Maybe it is the case that LA and SCC are the last counties in the US to receive any. Or maybe "shipped" means "we took it from the manufacturer", despite the fact that CDC labels the data as "distributed" but the fine print says "recorded as shipped".
