Economically speaking.......you can normally balance vaccine dose number ( or any good) with the supply by the equilibrium reached at a certain price level. But when you have a free good (to the public), you can see all these problems crop up. Especially galling is that example of cutting the line.
I would suggest that once a group is identified to be vaccinated and the group numbers are larger than the doses available ( which will always be the case in the early stages of this vaccine delivery) that SOME (?) system of chance be used, like a lottery or drawing of names. Anything by chance would LESSEN the hurt feelings and frustration of the public that has taken place so far. They have been treating the vaccine delivery like some kind of "Black Friday" sale at Walmart. They need a solid system, not the anarchy of "1st come, 1st served".
