      Tens of millions of AstraZeneca vaccines that won't be approved here soon enough are languishing in US depots. Our supply already exceeds the number of Americans. Less than 1% of Africa has been vaccinated. President Biden: Let our surplus vaccines go—now. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/17/opinion/coronavirus-vaccine.html …pic.twitter.com/XSOCKKVjKk

      Can you help me understand why, if "Our supply already exceeds the number of Americans," I and so many people I know can't get an appointment?

      Yeah, answered in threat. Short answer is they are not approved for US use, and won't be approved before the supply from already approved sources allows you to get that appointment. So we're sitting on perfectly usable vaccine doses that, we now know, we'll never get to.

      What can we do to speed up the process in the US? In my ideal world, I'd be able to have a dose shipped to me in dry ice that I'd inject myself. If that's not possible, what is possible for faster vaccinations?

      It's going relatively well, to be honest and speeding up. We are vaccinating two-three million per day. I know it's frustrating but we will have everyone who wants to get vaccinated—including even 16-year-olds!—vaccinated long before summer.

          I understand that everyone everywhere wants things to be faster but do Americans not realize how far ahead of the planet they are? Alaska's made everyone over 16 eligible for shots & here in Ontario you can't even use our online appointment booking form yet if you're under *80*.
