You can hardly expect people to wait around until you have enough people for a single vial. Wasting less than a single vial per day doesn't outweigh the downsides of making it harder to get vaccinated.

- 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.
