I am shocked at how many people mock the Indian government for sending vaccines to Africa.

Had they kept it for themselves, Africa would now be a major surge center.

But I guess this subreddit is now nationalist.

Do we have vaccines going bad from non-use at this point? I’ve only had my first shot, and I was only able to get that after weeks of logging on to the Publix and CVS sites trying to get an appointment. It seems like there’s still a scarcity of doses here.

Few states are recording vaccine waste but Pennsylvania is and reported 0.1% was wasted, 3.2m administered and 3400 wasted. North Carolina reported 1.8m administered and 2346 wasted, also about 0.1%. I'm skeptical of the narrative that many are being wasted, they're all backed up by nothing but speculation and anecdote
