There is a general problem with vaccine distribution in the US that will not be of the same magnitude of a problem as it will be in other countries like Australia and New Zealand. The US has a greater problem. The US has let its CV problem spread much more than other countries. We have the world's worse problem. WE are #1 in cases per 100,000 people.
Experts are using this analogy.......the CV vaccine availability is like giving a Fire Dept. a strong, capable fire hose, which is a good thing! They can quickly use that strong hose to put out a house fire. The problem comes up when they try to use it to fight a raging forest fire. Think of Australia as the house fire and the US as the ranging forest fire.
Basically, I believe that here in the US we have allowed our CV problem to grow too far. The vaccines will NOT be in enough quantity to quickly overcome our prior poor response to our CV problem. There are more problems going forward - distribution problems - staff to administer the shots - anti-vaccine forces - conspiracy theory propaganda and etc.
