The county’s ever-growing vaccine distribution network is now capable of delivering more than 20,000 doses every day, but county officials said Wednesday that only about half of that capacity will be available anytime soon due to an ongoing mismatch between vaccine supply and demand.
There simply are not enough doses to go around no matter how many clinics open across the region.
Nathan Fletcher, chair of the county Board of Supervisors, worked to set expectations during his weekly COVID-19 update, reminding the public that the pace of vaccination is dictated by doses, not desire.
“We have just gone beyond the supply of vaccines . as a county, we can only give what we have received,” Fletcher said. “The supply of vaccines has not kept up with our ability to build out infrastructure to administer them.”
