Please do not be outraged at Mayo - the states control distribution of the vaccine, providers are neither able to request it nor to buy it in the marketplace. Every state is reacting "on the fly", trying to get the precious shots into as many arms as possible, as quickly as possible. Our state distributed to many seniors & educators through gigantic indoor events for several weeks, and these did NOT result in any spike in infections, but these were inaccessible to people far from our larger cities. Hence the decision to distribute through pharmacies - closer to more people. I am sure they will take precautions - just double-mask, and don't be tempted to stay & shop while you are there.
I am encouraged to hear that the companies have figured out how to manufacture and distribute the vaccine much more quickly, so that we should all be able to have our injections soon.
