“#Cuomo needs to give Israel’s COVID-19 vaccination method a shot<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

After Gov. Cuomo\u2019s outrageous bungling, New York government is belatedly opening up more vaccination sites and trying to fix its overelaborate, confusing registration systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the gov still needs to loosen up in (at least) one vital way: Copying Israel in setting up a \u201cstandby\u201d system so that none of the miracle drugs goes to waste.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Israel lets anyone sign up and hang out at a vaccination site so they\u2019re available if a batch is about to expire but no one else \u201cqualified\u201d is available.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not that different from how airlines use standby status to fill up otherwise-empty seats.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This system both avoids excessive crowding at any given site \u2014 why stick around if dozens are already waiting? \u2014 and ensures that any continued problems with registration don\u2019t lead to wasted vaccine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cuomo\u2019s current combination of threats \u2014 fines and possible confiscation of your vax stocks if you\u2019re too slow in using all your vaccine, and bigger fines if you jab the \u201cwrong\u201d person \u2014 just hogties management and leaves line workers paranoid.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yes, as long as supplies are limited, it makes sense to prioritize higher-risk groups \u2014 but the overall goal is to get to herd immunity as fast as possible, and that calls for getting as many arms processed as fast as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The city, state and nation are all better off if sites are vaccinating as fast as supplies come in \u2014 then pharma companies can work to boost production and regulators will face more pressure to greenlight new vaccines without needless delay.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The goal is to keep the Javits Center, Citi Field, Brooklyn Navy Yard and other sites constantly humming to get New York to the \u201cgoal line\u201d of 80 percent vaccinated as quickly as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Letting even younger, healthy people get shots now (if they\u2019re willing to wait for the chance) helps us all get to herd immunity as quickly as possible \u2014 protecting even those who haven\u2019t been jabbed from much risk of transmission, and allowing everyone to get back to something close to normalcy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lockdowns have huge costs \u2014 economic ones, which have fallen by far the heaviest on the poor and minorities; other health woes, as people must forgo crucial medical care; and mental-health problems that have led to higher rates of dementia, drug abuse and suicide.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An overfocus on who gets vaccinated first just slows everything down. Better to make it the overriding priority to get the most people jabbed the fastest.\u00a0\n <\/p><\/div>\n
