To open a batch you should have an equal amount of people already queued up for the shot. If at the end there are still unused shots for whatever reason I would give the doctor in charge full authority to use those however they see fit as long as they are not selling them for money or other benefits.
Sadly the US has now a system where everyone with any responsibilities has zero authority and everyone with authority has zero accountability.

- tacon 6y agoYou missed the point of this story. This was in the very, very early days of vaccinations in Harris County. There was hardly any system. Harris County Public Health had to toss their first vaccination registration system, when it turned out signup invitation links could be shared and hundreds of invalid people showed up for appointments.[0] You can be sure this didn't happen after January 1, and protocols for handling extra doses are now very well known.
