An increasing number of school district leaders are setting up creative partnerships to vaccinate teachers and staff and now some are pressing local health officials to let them expand to the community at large.
Sprawl, gentrification, and cycles of disinvestment have led to markedly different access to drug stores, supermarkets, and medical facilities across the United States, but nearly all communities still have schools, the leaders note. Centrally located and often at walkable distances for most residents, schools have the potential to serve as powerful vaccination hubs.
Overcoming the initial challenges of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout
January 12, 2021 – Howard Koh, Harvey V. Fineberg Professor of the Practice of Public Health Leadership, discusses the initial challenges of COVID-19 vaccination efforts in the U.S. and the need for a “one government” approach.
What’s your assessment of how the first few weeks of the vaccine rollout in the U.S. has gone?
This is the most ambitious vaccination effort in the country’s history. Any chance of having our country regain a sense of normality by late summer or early fall will require administering at least an estimated 1 million or more doses of vaccines daily. Everyone knew it was going to take seamless leadership, coordination, and cooperation to assure a smooth rollout, but we unfortunately haven’t had that. Multiple bumps in the road during the opening weeks have made the rollout disappointing.
