Millions of Covid-19 Vaccine Shots Going to Waste in U.S. as Vaccination Program Fizzles: Report
Mike Clark/The Grand Rapids Press
The U.S. has wasted millions of covid-19 vaccine doses since the pandemic began, with many more ready to be tossed in the garbage in the coming weeks and months as they expire, according to a damning new report fromThe U.S. has vaccinated just 66.6% of its population against covid-19, the lowest rate among any wealthy country in the world. In fact, the U.S.
For example, North Carolina alone, where just 63% of the population has gotten at least two doses has seen 1.7 million covid-19 shots gone to waste. And in Michigan, where only 60.2% of the population has been fully vaccinated against covid-19, another 1.7 million shots have been sent to landfills. Over 100,000 more shots are set to expire in Michigan within the next two weeks alone.
And while it’s great the U.S. has doses to spare for anyone who wants one, it points to the tremendous inefficiencies and waste of the country’s private health care system. The problem, as experts note, is that once the doses have been delivered to pharmacies and clinics, they can’t be easily rerouted to another part of the world that might have people who are more willing to take up the vaccines.
