There have been about 850,000 doses a day distributed to patients. That may seem like a big number but at that with 330,000,000 citizens it will take two years for everyone to get two doses.

Hopefully the number will begin to increase. As Bucco said, it is temporary and will get fixed.

There has been a steep learning curve at every step of this pandemic. Scientist and experts have said one thing only to contradict themselves a month late. The amazing thing is that we have a vaccine after only 9 months of beginning to develop it. This is the fastest that a drug has ever come to market and will affect the development of life saving drugs in the future.

Everyone just has to calm down and realize that it is going to take some time for this to get done. I don't think that it's going to take two years as I expect the manufacturing and distribution rate to increase as we learn.

It seems as though many people believed that 330 million people were going to be vaccinated within a few days. Hopefully we can have the majority of us vaccinated by summer.
