In the USA we jokingly say we have the 3rd best healthcare system in North America! Do the math, that translates into “the worst” healthcare system on the continent.
Here in the USA we don’t have special plans for vaccinating for the flu per se. With flu shots there always seems to be a more than adequate number of vaccinations available ahead of flu season, therefore they get distributed all across the country to most doctors offices, pharmacies, hospitals, etc. Flu shot vaccinations are rather easy to find near to where you live. COVID-19 is a whole different situation altogether. We have limited supplies for COVID-19 vaccinations, and we have a poorly designed distribution system which is improving but still isn’t adequate. Plus we have bottom dwellers (politicians) on state and local levels that don’t have a clue how to manage this situation, or just don’t care.
