I receive updates from Sumter County Health. The bottom line is they are not getting the vaccines they have been promised. They have the distribution plan in place, but all is dependent on having the vaccines on the shelf. Same with Publix. State stockpiles are low since the previous federal administration lied about its plan to hold second doses in reserve. Essentially there is a big supply-demand imbalance. Hopefully when Johnson/Johnson ramps up production, the supply crunch will ease. But that won't happen overnight. In the meantime, the counties are not given adequate notification as to when vaccine supplies will arrive. They often don't get specific dates, so that makes it very difficult to plan.
