This is great news for those of you who had the shots and wish you hadn’t. The biggest compliance issue was temperature control. @pfizer required storage in ultra cold freezers and could only stay at room temperature 2-6 hours. Many patients probably got inert shots.
Quote Alexander Tin @Alexander_Tin · 15h From 2021 thru 2023, @CDCgov tasked health departments with inspecting COVID-19 vaccinators
Less than half of urgent cares (46.9%) and state/local jails/prisons (45.7%) inspected were in compliance, most often cited for vaccine storage/monitoring
Remember, it was only the very first batches that required the ultra-cold freezers. The subsequent batches did not. That suggests that those early vials had been prepared for months, perhaps even years ahead of time...
Maybe even a decade.
