Too little, too late.

"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approved the latest vaccine two weeks ago, and the new shots became available to the general public within the last week or so. But many nursing homes will not begin inoculations until well into October or even November, though infections among this vulnerable population are rising, to nearly 1%, or 9.7 per 1,000 residents in mid-September from a low of 2.2 per 1,000 residents in mid-June.

“The distribution of the new COVID-19 vaccine is not going well,” said Chad Worz, the CEO of the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists. “Older adults in those settings are certainly the most vulnerable and should have been prioritized.”

The death rate in this vulnerable population is projected to be 4.4 times higher than the current covid death rate. Those deaths could be prevented, if lenz was approved, and could be even better in those nursing home residents who already had covid once or twice previously, and if lenz could be used as a pre-or post- exposure prophylactic.

And this is the standard operating procedure we want to memorialize? Continue to sacrifice lives for annual fall campaigns of updated vaccines that then need to be distributed nationally? It doesn't have to be this way, and it shouldn't be this way.
