The distribution of COVID vaccines has yet to live up to its potential. The original goal: Vaccinate 20 million people by the end of December, higher ups at Operation Warp Speed said. Currently, there have only been 16,525,281 vaccines administered, of which only 2,161,419 have received a second dose.
The reasons vary states holding back vaccines; lack of resources, and even health workers destroying vaccines. Regardless, these delays are putting people in jeopardy of not receiving their second dose on time.
How bad is it if you don’t get your second dose on time?
We don’t know exactly, because there haven’t been studies on it yet. It’s probably not ideal to go too long, experts say, but there’s a little disagreement on how long it’s OK to go between shots.
