Due to the insufficient supply of COVID-19 vaccines, the United States has difficulty making an appointment, and many places in the United States have also experienced "the first shot is given but the second shot is not available." In New York, 15 vaccination sites have been forced to temporarily close, and appointments for more than 22,000 people have been cancelled.
A New York resident said that the appointment website has been in a crash and was constantly "kicked" after logging in. They called back 60 appointment calls at different times before making an appointment.
After several callbacks, New York resident Ducas finally made an appointment for the first dose of the new crown vaccine. However, that day was three months later in mid-April, in another city that needed to drive for 6 hours to reach.
And they are still lucky, many elderly people who meet the priority vaccination criteria failed to make an appointment for several weeks. As the news that the vaccine is about to be "cut off" is constantly exposed, the chances of vaccination seem to be becoming increasingly slim.
New York Local Resident: I feel like I'm in a maze without an exit. I've been calling these weeks but never answered.
The US COVID-19 vaccine needs to be vaccinated in two doses, with a interval of three to four weeks. According to recent research by the journal " Science ", delayed vaccination or failure to vaccinate the second dose will reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine.
In , Florida, , 45,000 people have missed the second dose of the new crown vaccination date. Many people say that they have not received the vaccination notice they should have, which makes them quite anxious when they see their second dose of vaccination day approaching.
Florida Local Resident: I will receive the second dose of the vaccine on January 28, but they have not contacted me until now.
Florida Local Residents: We feel very, very anxious, I have not received a vaccination notice, and they have not contacted me.
Florida Local Residents: Information on vaccination has been very confusing, and I don’t believe this work is underway in an orderly manner.
. American public health experts and media criticized the problem of vaccination in the United States, believing that . The U.S. federal government lacks effective organizations, and the state government is as anxious but helpless as a "headless fly". Their only response and advice to the people is to make appointments over and over again, and don't give up.
