Looking for a Covid vaccine? Here$$s why that$$s not so easy in CT right now National complications with the COVID$-19$ vaccine rollout have hit Connecticut, stalling immunizations at mom$-$and$-$pop drug stores, large chain pharmacies and hospitals across the state.Supply chain disruptions, insurance issues and workforce woes have riddled the road to immunisation, resulting in cancelled appointments and localised shortages of the updated COVID$-19$ vaccine that was approved by federal regulators last month. Vice President of Pharmacy Services at Hartford HealthCare Eric Arlia said the health care network has yet to receive a vaccine order submitted nearly two weeks ago.$$We placed our original order for the new vaccine on $9/21,$ but we have not received it yet,$$ Arlia said. $$We do encourage people to get vaccinated as soon as it$$s available. We don$$t anticipate a long$-$term shortage and soon it should be readily available. We believe it$$s still the best tool in the ongoing fight against illness.$$ A Yale New Haven Health spokesperson said the network has been in regular communication with its wholesale supplier but that $$No firm delivery dates from the supplier have been established yet.$$Pfizer has substantial supply of its $2023-2024$ COVID$-19$ vaccine and does not have any shortages,$$ Pfizer said in a statement to the Courant. $$Following the FDA approval and CDC recommendation last month, Pfizer has shipped and delivered more than $10$ million doses of its $2023-2024$ COVID$-19$ vaccine. We$$re continuing to meet demand from wholesalers and customers and anticipate delivering millions of additional doses each week.$$ Hartford HealthCare and Yale New Haven Health did not offer the names of their wholesale suppliers, with Yale citing security concerns. Matt Blanchette, senior manager of retail communications for CVS Pharmacy, said the chain continues to receive COVID$-19$ vaccines on a rolling basis. $$Due to delivery delays from our wholesalers, some appointments may be rescheduled,$$ Blanchette said. $$We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will continue to offer additional appointments at those locations as supply is received.$$The availability of the COVID$-19$ vaccine is expected to improve over the coming weeks,$$ Boyle said. $$Vaccine manufacturers have informed DPH that this is not a vaccine supply issue but rather shipping and delivery logistics that are responsible for this delay. This is a nationwide issue for all those looking to receive the updated COVID$-19$ vaccine.$$ When the COVID$-19$ Public Health Emergency ended last May, the distribution for COVID$-19$ vaccines shifted from federal agencies to the commercial market. Insurance companies and consumers must now cover vaccine costs where the government previously picked up the tab. According to Boyle, more than $46,000$ patients in Connecticut have received a dose of the updated vaccine. But even in locations with a vaccine stockpile, other complications arise. While the Health District is considered in network for flu and other vaccinations, Krauss said other insurers list them as out of network for the COVID$-19$ vaccine. As a result, Krauss said the Health District will not offer the COVID$-19$ vaccine at pop$-$up clinics. Instead, appointments will be available at the Health District office so staff can run the insurance ahead of time to determine what kind of coverage and reimbursement patients will receive. Without insurance, the cost for one dose of a COVID$-19$ vaccine is $$115$ for Pfizer and $$128$ for Moderna.Boyle said no$-$cost vaccines are available through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Bridge Access Program.$$The Bridge program provides no$-$cost COVID$-19$ vaccines to adults without health insurance and adQUESTION $1(20$ Marks$)$ Conduct a comprehensive analysis of the obstacles encountered by Pfizer in formulating strategic social policies, that align with the distinctive features of the South African Healthcare vaccine distribution model.
