OWS was a few days late on their goal of 20M by the end of December.

However, their goal of an additional 30M in January (total 50M) is seriously slipping.  By mid January, 4 weekly shipments of 4.3M doses is not even 20M doses.  If production doubles for the last 2 shipments, deliveries won't be 30M.

Obviously, we are grateful for every dose that the two manufacturers can produce.  But, planning based on the delivery goals need to be adjusted.

The fact that the doses for the two manufacturers are similar in numbers to each other but vary from week to week might suggest there is a common shortage that is holding them back.
