Of all the PCPs combined all having roughly the same patient panel size significantly > 200 of all these combined patients are > 85. So with your "AGE ONLY method of determining priority" you tell me without utilizing additional criteria how are you going to immunize a possible 1000 85 year old patients who all want it now and not the following week with only 200 doses of vaccine ????

My post addressed the issue of determining priority. Your post concerns supply issues. Two entirely different issues. Obviously, you can't give shots if you don't have the shots/medicine on hand to give.
