I think we all in Europe are in a similar situation (based in comments of friends of different countries), so it seems to me that is not because the internal organization of delivering / injecting the vaccine but the production of it.
The production is going very slow, and therefore the rollout it's super slow...
- scrollaway 6y agoEurope has definitely dropped the ball in terms of supply, but looking at the numbers, I can't help but feel like at least Belgium couldn't actually distribute more if it had more to distribute. Just recently the country was boasting about being ahead of its own schedule and all I can think is "if you're ahead of schedule despite all of europe being dry on supplies, your schedule sucks, doesn't it?". It's very likely that europe failing to supply us is saving the jobs of other politicians who failed to organize us better.

- pqs 6y agoThanks for your comment. Production and delivery of vaccines is the bottleneck. Israel is a very small country, compared to the EU.
- dm319 6y agoThere are a lot of analyses already about what has gone wrong with the European vaccine effort. It seems to be partly a mixture of being a bit stingy with procurement, being skeptical of new RNA vaccines, putting too much stock in sanofi and j&j, and requiring everything ratified by every country to proceed. In fact it was going so slowly that four countries decided to organise their own precurement, and that became the EU effort. So it seems mostly a problem of procurement/supply. A smaller country like Israel has a simpler logistical issue.
