Inoculations by December? States aren't so sure.
Donald Trump says tens of millions of doses of coronavirus vaccines, which hold the promise of blunting a pandemic that has killed nearly a quarter-million Americans, will be delivered to every state as soon as December.
But interviews with more than two dozen experts who work in pharmacies, rural clinics and public health, as well as state and local officials, reveal serious concerns that states may not be ready to distribute a vaccine by then.
There are unresolved logistical challenges, little federal guidance over who should be prioritized for vaccination, ongoing technical spats between states and the Trump administration, critical funding shortages, and a growing vaccine hesitancy that states need help overcoming.
The incoming Biden administration cannot talk to federal agencies and does not know what problems the current leadership is most concerned with, leading some expert advisers to openly worry about access and distribution.
