MIT review analyzing the current situation on Covid-19 vaccination campaign highlights some serious issues, those must be resolved on priority.
In the US, several States have not received enough doses of coronavirus vaccines – and online “appointment” is proving to be a chaotic experience.

The CDC recognizes the problem, says it is trying to find solutions – but on the other hand, blames those who try to make an appointment to get vaccinated!
But it’s not just elderly people – who obviously are less familiar with technology – who have a problem with the Vaccine Administration Management System: In many cases, medical center workers fail to make appointments for people who want to be vaccinated – and give up the effort…

If you’re 75 and someone asks you to log into VAMS, there is zerowayit’ll happen without help”, explained Courtney Rowe, a pediatric urologist from Connecticut Children’s Medical Center.
