The state set a target of vaccinating 700 000 health workers this past week (apparently later revised down). That's 140 000 vaccines a day, seven days a week, or 980 000 a week, more than five times what we managed last week. According to the Minister of Health, we had 975 000 Pfizer vaccine doses in stock at the beginning of last week. (The second Pfizer dose is identical to the first, so there’s no additional complications with the second dose.) But vaccine sites should be set up in shopping malls, at taxi ranks, and other large gathering points.
