I keep hearing how densantis is doing such a poor job.

Florida is below the national average in cases per million(behind California now) and deaths per million(despite having the 2nd most residents over 65 by % of population)

Florida is 3rd in doses administered and 11th in % of doses used(45.7%)Only lagging behind texas in % for the “big” states.

California(25.9%)

And the beat goes on...

In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo spent weeks insisting that only health care workers can get the shots, even as many refused, and only began to ease restrictions in recent days. In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom assembled sprawling expert committees to weigh complicated rules for distribution, miring the effort in bureaucratic confusion.

The feds have sent 1.2 million doses to New York, but about 605,000 people have received a shot. California shipped nearly 2.5 million doses to local health departments and health care systems, but just over 783,400 vaccinations have been administered. President-elect Joe Biden has set the formidable goal of injecting 100 million doses during his first 100 days in office.
“Pharmacists are trying to do the right thing, and they know the importance of not allowing vaccines to go to waste,” said Mitchel Rothholz, the immunization policy lead for the American Pharmacists Association. “But on the same hand, when we have discussions going on in California and New York, they need to know their back is covered if they make a judgment call.”

Few US states have done an impressive job of rolling out the desperately needed Covid-19 vaccines in the month since the FDA approved them, but the most populous state, California, is among those having a particularly poor showing. The state with the best vaccination program, West Virginia, has used 78.6 percent of the doses shipped to it; California has used 27 percent, putting it 49th in the country. (Only Alabama, at 21 percent, is doing worse.) Seven percent of West Virginians have been vaccinated; only 2.5 percent of Californians have.

On Wednesday, January 13, Newsom announced that people aged 65 and older could be vaccinated in California, as part of a push to improve the state’s dismal overall vaccination performance. (Newsom’s office has not responded to a request for comment.) Yet California islacking the infrastructure for vaccine availability reporting that many other states have, though some counties have their own systems.For instance, West Virginia’s vaccination website lists every clinic conducting vaccinations each day, with an address and specific details about how to get a vaccine. Texas has a huge map of vaccination locations across the whole state, with the ones with availability highlighted.

The unofficial California dashboardcame together as a result of a call to arms on Twitter from Patrick McKenzie, a well-known tech worker and writer currently at Stripe, a payments company that before the pandemic was based in San Francisco.

California has used about 30% of the doses it has been allocated from the federal government while Texas has used about 55%, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. California ranks 43rd among states in the proportion of people it has immunized.

On Wednesday, following hastily-announced federal guidance, Newsom said that anyone 65 and older could now be immunized — broadening a complicated priority system that previously reserved doses for health workers and nursing home residents.

Local public health officials and health systems weren’t at all ready for an onslaught of potentially 6 million seniors. Not all adopted the state’s recommendation, creating a patchwork of access that Californians are now trying to decipher.

Reports of glitches mounted as counties launched dozens of different online platforms for appointment sign-ups and waiting lists. Tiny Inyo County, with about 18,000 residents, had to ask people to sign up with just a Google form.
