Poor logistics, planning and clunky systems have plagued America's vaccine rollout, state level officials say - exacerbating the dire situation already created by the nation's shortage of the shots.Official from 20 states told the that the way the federal government was rolling out shots was inefficient and lacking. Many shipments were ending up in the wrong state. Local officials also had little ability to track when the jabs would arrive, limiting their ability to plan distribution. Sometimes, the shots would arrive improperly labeled or packaged - leading to shots getting spoiled.These failures are making America's already sparse access to the shots even worse. According to most recent figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (), federal officials have made 1.1 million jabs available to states and have delivered 600,000 to local heath departments. Experts estimate it will take at least three million doses just to vaccinated men who have sex with other men - the highest risk group.
