State of Tennessee takes away distribution of Covid Vaccines from Shelby County
.
Obviously the Shelby County Health Department wasn't up to or prepared for such a task.

Apparently lost or ruined up to 2400 vaccines? Is anyone surprised?

It's F'n embarrasing ..........

Quote:The Tennessee Department of Health said the county wasted a total of 2,400 doses across seven separate incidents over the month of February. Spoilage of that magnitude could also trigger a federal investigation, state officials said.

State Health Commissioner Lisa Piercey said the county did not adequately track soon-to-expire doses and had a stockpile of more than 51,000 unused doses, which was about 30,000 doses too many. Those surplus doses are viable until March 6.

"The people of Shelby County deserve efficient and effective vaccinations," Piercey said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon. "We believe that the majority of this wastage was not weather-related."

Tennessee cuts Shelby County out of vaccine distribution; Memphis, hospitals and pharmacies will administer doses

Spending my days at 201 Poplar has shown me one thing, our county government is as corrupt and inept as one could possibly imagine.

They are a joke. The only joke worse than SCHD is SCS.
They first "admitted" 1,300 vax were ruined.
After investigation, it was found 2,400 ruined.

The SCHD and SCS combined to put pressure on the state to move teachers up in priority.
The only thing stopping SCHD from moving to the next phase that included teachers was that they wouldn't get the vax out enough to move on.
Many other counties had already moved on to the teachers phase.
At the same time, SCHD was sitting on surplus vax that were expiring.

They had the genius idea of having 1 million residents drive through the Pipkin Building for 2 shots.
After they got impossibly behind in this task, they realized it wouldn't work. So they opened - what - 2 more locations in the entire county?
Meanwhile Haushalter too busy with the mask squad shutting down businesses and restaurants.

Hey, maybe they will win an Emmy for their COVID response.

Across town, teachers revolting about the idea of actually going back to work. They've said "follow the science and guidelines". That is, until the science and guidelines tell them they should be back in the classroom.

Terrible leadership problems in Shelby Co.

every gov is corrupt...all the lil podunk towns around here are corrupt--high paying city and county projects get farmed out to friends.

Deals get made behind closed doors. Water companies from Switzerland and other European countries paid city council people to sell them water rights at pennies per gallon. They are siphoning off our most valuable resource

Shots are going to waste here too. It was snowing so hard and so fast for a week people couldn't get in to their appointments

But the more people involved, the more corrupt

Yeah SCHD tried to blame the weather too. But it turns out, they've been wasting shots for weeks.
They were illegally holding the shots in reserve for teachers, although they had not progressed to the "teacher phase". So they were denying seniors shots as they reserved them for people not eligible - and the shots were expiring while they were stockpiling them.
And the the Mayor tries to blame the state and governor by saying Nashville didn't tell them they could NOT stockpile shots for teachers.
Corrupt and incompetent.

Its happening in every state in the nation. Let's fix the problems but also not freak out like Shelby County is the only place on the planet that is dropping the ball. Because of the very low temperatures it takes to store the vaccine and the short shelf life, once it is thawed, it is pretty common actually. Many states are not even counting how many they throw out. However the 1000+ is cringe worthy.

You're not reading the story.
They went against directives and were stockpiling vax. Has nothing to do with the storage temps. It was a shelf life issue.
And it was 2000+ in one month.
The state is fixing the problem. They are embedded and "advising" SCHD on future vax distribution. I think this week, SCHD will issue more vax than any other week. Funny how that works.

Breaking News...
Gov Lee on his way to Memphis. Has identified SCHD as a "low accountability organization". In addition to the thousands of vax found expiring on shelves at the SCHD, there is evidence some vax were stolen.

Looks like SCHD's power-trip might be coming to an end, finally. Typically, they were stockpiling vax to build their power structure even more. It's a shame we had no local media holding them accountable.

Changes are coming. Some are calling for Haushalter's firing.

Example of SCHD record keeping.
Look professional to you? Can you defend the professional manner?
What were they thinking?

Gov. Lee is going to be busy if he is going to travel to every county having issues and misplacing vaccines. All 95 counties have had problems. Knox county was reporting 1000 missing vaccines two weeks ago. What happened there when he rode in to investigate? Because we haven't heard much about that. Maybe the bad weather was the top story then. When things are rushed then mistakes will occur. Doctors and Health departments are not really qualified for logistics.

First time I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you had not read the reports. Now, it seems apparent you're just making excuses.

What SCHD did was not "misplace vaccines". And what they did was not weather related. And what they did was not a clerical error, like Knox Co.
And, no, all 95 counties are not having problems. Rural counties with vax being run by the state, have largely been going pretty smoothly. Appointments are plenty and they have moved on to phase 1b (that includes teachers) over a month ago.

Show us some sign you understand the difference of what has been going on in Shelby Co, please.

Went to the Bar-B-Q Shop in Memphis tonight and the restaurant staff were so happy. They were talking about some of the silliness finally going away, and maybe they can start getting back to earning a living.

Got notified tonight that all Shelby Co vax distribution sites will now be operating Mon-Sat 9am-6pm. That should about double the number of appointments available.

Local leadership matters, citizens. Quit electing yahoos who appoint lackeys.
