10. That last part is a training issue

The sites that were scheduled to get the first doses of vaccines were hospitals. Many of them bought cold storage equipment specifically to store the vaccines. There is absolutely no excuse for any of them to have thrown away ANY doses. If there weren't "1A" recipients available, then these institutions should've put out word that whatever the number of unused doses was, were available to the general public 1st come, 1st served. If they didn't do that, it shows a complete lack of common sense on their part.

Anyone paying attention knew about the storage requirements and shelf life for each vaccine.
