If we started doing 100,000 injections a day, that would be 3,000,000 injections a month and 30,000,000 injections over 10 months. But everyone needs a second injection so that means 15,000,000 people fully vaccinated after 10 months. Considering that we are nowhere near 100,000 a day, is in even feasible to get up to 200,000 injections a day to meet the September timeline?
Currently we are supply-constrained: there is not enough vaccine inventory to do as much as we want.
Come April, we are due to have 4M doses coming in per week, which translates to about 150K per day, and a bit less on weekends. At that point the risk is that we will be process- or infrastructure-constrained. I think the only way to deliver that many doses will be to engage the pharmacies into this process. They have indicated their willingness/desire to do so, but any discussions or negotiations are not public at this point.
