Throw the computer system out the window onto the car of the guy who thought spending time and resources on this was a good idea.
All we care about is how many people were vaccinated, and how many doses are thrown out before use.
Obviously we care about how many are vaccinated. Why do we care how many are thrown out? To show where and how we failed. We didn’t get SARS. This is our SARS moment, but more importantly, we are in the process of proving out an entire new class of vaccines that were never used before, are easier to produce on a per virus basis than any vaccine before it, and more effective than what we did before using traditional methods. So where are we failing in the distribution, and why?
Three forms you can file electronically with less info than a birth certificate.
1. Patient ID. First dose or second dose, and the address of the Office they were vaccinated.
2. Vaccine disposal. Basically a summary of how many were thrown out and why these doses were wasted.
3. A reorder form.
At this point we have dumped trillions of dollars of relief into the economy with a promise from House Democrats to dump trillions more. Trying to keep a perfect record of where every single dose is in the country rather than just injecting them in anyone who wants a vaccine is expensive overhead and wasted effort.
