The coronavirus vaccines have shattered expectations

22. I am a volunteer vaccine mixer

at our local county health department's weekly vaccine clinic. We receive the Pfizer vaccine, which has to be meticulously reconstituted and 6 tiny (0.3 ml) individual doses drawn up. We generally get 6 doses per vial, but depending on the supplies we receive ,that can go down to only 5 doses per vial if we only have 1 1/2 inch needles > 25 gauge. So, you can see why it is hard to predict exactly how many people to register for each week. So much access to the vaccine depends on good timing and luck. Hang in there, it will happen!
