Will we reach a point where covid vaccines are distributed at the same pace as they are used?

Asked by crazyguy (3207points) February 1st, 2021

Over the last few days, the gap between vaccines distributed and vaccines used has been shrinking. As of 6 am this morning, more than 64% of vaccines distributed to states had been injected. Just a few days ago, the percentage was under 50.

It is unrealistic to expect this number to ever reach 100. However, it is reasonable to expect that the number will keep creeping upwards, as confidence is built up in the distribution methods. As that happens, states will be able to actually schedule vaccination appointments for vaccines not yet received. Just like private industry.

I do not know what the ultimate number will be, but I fully expect it to cross 90%.

What do you think?
