Overseas network, October 10 (Xinhua) according to U.S. media reports, the waste of new crown vaccine in Louisiana continues to intensify. Since not enough residents are willing to vaccinate, nearly 224000 doses of vaccine have been thrown away in the state.
Although Louisiana is struggling to cope with the current surge in new crown cases, the number of discarded vaccines in Louisiana has almost tripled since the end of July, AP reported on the 9th. According to the latest data provided by the Louisiana Department of health, 223918 doses of Pfizer, Modena and Johnson & Johnson new crown vaccines have been discarded. Health Department spokesman Kevin & middot; Litten said that most of the vaccine waste in the state is because the bottle containing the vaccine is opened, but hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and other places can not find people to vaccinate these vaccines.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and prevention, Louisiana has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the United States, and only about 46% of the population has been fully vaccinated. US media said that while the vaccine was discarded locally, millions of people around the world were still waiting for the opportunity to be vaccinated. (overseas network Zhang Ni)
