There was no record keeping.
The only alternative is going to be the delivery trucks. The trucking companies would have a “ Bill of Lading.” It would be the paperwork about the shipment. The government is going to have to ask the companies to submit a copy of the delivery receipts. At the very least the places that accepted deliveries of vaccine will be known. Then the recipients can provide a number of vaccines delivered.
It is second hand knowledge, but, it is at least an accounting. The recipients can also provide complaints for any aspect of the process so it can run more smoothly.
This lack of accounting should not be of any surprise. Trump never accounts for anything. He treated President Biden as a stranger in locking up the White House so he could not enter. The entire staff was sent home.
I am not surprised the entire government is starting fresh. I am sure scientific records are gone. Reconstructing that is going to be interesting.
American lives were never safe with Trump and this is more proof.
I think the only warehouses with vaccine are the manufacturing sites. I recall Pfizer asking about additional deliveries as they had vaccine in the warehouse. I doubt if any vaccines were stored in government facilities.
The CDC needs to establish a dedicated communication office to coordinate the manufacturers with delivery dates and recipients. Orders for vaccine can be compiled and provided dates of delivery to prevent duplication.
We are lucky there are only two USA companies to coordinate with at this point as more companies are coming online.
Accountability is vital to fast and efficient distribution.
