It would be interesting to know how much vaccine is available in Leon County, how many shots have been given and who is giving the most shots. It would be of interest to know what is limiting the number of shots being given. For instance it is understandable if shots were limited because of the availability of the vaccine but not so understandable if the number of shots given is limited because work hours have not be increased to match the emergency nature of the virus.
