  Can you ship me a dose?

    I'm trying to put it together this week. I don't think it ships well

If you live in the USA/UK/EU/CA you will probably be vaccinated by the end of the summer as far as I can tell. (I am an amateur not a doctor)

  It depends on a lot of assumptions. How many shots per day--currently at about 1 million in the US but ramping up. One shot vs. two shot vaccine mix. If/when younger children get added to the pool. What percentage of the population wants a vaccine. A lot of people should be vaccinated by the end of the summer. But that would require accelerating things a fair bit from the current pace--which would put the 90% mark around Thanksgiving.

    You're totally correct. In the USA the Biden admin is setting up mass vax sites that currently aren't running(so i expect they will make an impact) and they're promising they can speed up by 50% more. Also for what it's worth I assumed I was talking to an adult who wants a vax when I made my statement.

      Yes, barring any major setbacks, I'm optimistic that by late summer I will be able to get a vaccine without going through major gyrations. (And, in practice, I'll try to get one earlier rather than later even if it's still a bit of a hassle.)

In the US, it's been ramping up to about 1.5 million shots a day and a one-shot J&J vaccine will presumably be coming on line. But, yes, depending upon the assumptions you care to make, it'll probably be later in the summer before the majority of people in the general population pool <65 years old get a vaccine.

  also, if new vaccines are required, you have to assume that 65+ won't go back up the front again.
