I'm not American, but from the American news I watch a significant % of the population doesn't have the ability to get government ID. If they can't get that, how are they going to get vaccinated and maintain those records?

The headline sounds scandalous, but the article leaves me thinking that the system works. They allocated funds based on data, and made small course corrections based on better data. Better to move it forward with good enough data and course
