US has thrown away 82 million COVID-19 vaccines, CDC
(Worthy News) – Over 82 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been wasted since the start of the pandemic, including roughly 11% distributed by the federal government, according to the Center for Disease Control.
CVS and Walgreens have thrown away about 25% of the vaccines, as a result of unused supply. Other pharmaceutical companies such as Costco, Publix and Rite Aid threw away few vaccines but their percentage of throwaways – 25% – was comparatively higher.
The finding are in stark contrast to an earlier news report that only 65 million doses were wasted in February. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
