One would think that you would call the manufacturer and simply ask when will we be getting more shipments of the vaccine ordered on such and such PO number.
Have to believe the vaccine makers have a production schedule and should easily be able to determine when they can ship more.
This seems to be much harder than it should be.

The buyer is the Federal Government so I assume they have some idea. They then determine the distribution to what State. The State then determines how much to what County. Both the Feds and the States can reallocate as they see fit, then the County can reallocate to the inoculation sites. This is totally a government program on many levels. Private sector is more straightforward.....back in the day I did what you did for a manufacturing company. Wasn't much fun so I moved to sales
