* Buried deep down in this Champaign News-Gazette story…
Frustrated by the slow pace of COVID-19 vaccinations at local long-term-care facilities, the health district offered to take over long-term-care vaccinations in Champaign County itself.
The state agreed with the plan last week, health district Administrator Julie Pryde said, but when her agency called nursing homes to offer assistance, they declined.
“We contacted every single place last week when we were going to go in and do it ourselves, and they just didn’t want it,” she said.
That’s likely because long-term-care facilities were reluctant to give up the vaccination appointment dates they’ve been waiting on with CVS or Walgreens, Pryde said.
Not only that, she said, switching vaccination providers would have involved more paperwork, such as obtaining new consent forms for residents being vaccinated.
*Facepalm*
* And on the other end of the spectrum…

For example, we've administered 27 million vaccines. If you pick that many Americans at random, you'd expect 640 to die within 24 hours. Post-vaccine deaths are running much less than that, suggesting that they are coincidental. Ignore panic pornographers. https://t.co/rX5OjPI3Lq

If C-U has extra vaccine IMO they should be trying to get the vaccine to people 65+ in the general population who want it and let the LTC be.
I posted about this yesterday at the end of the day but I still can’t get over a story I heard from someone I know who works at a retail pharmacy involved in getting vaccine to LTC locations. They say it is not uncommon to talk to the LTC facility and they say they need 80 doses but then when the vaccines arrive at the facility only 40 people are willing to take it so 40 doses have to be thrown away due to the vaccines being removed from cold storage and rules (either corporate or govt) not allowing them to give those vaccines to other eligible people like by calling police depts or fire depts or other 65+ people not in nursing homes.
The vaccine shortage unfortunately has a very stupid waste component built in.
