Biden administration to shift the way COVID vaccine is supplied to states

The Biden administration is shifting its distribution of COVID-19 vaccine supply, telling state officials Tuesday that vaccine supply left unordered will become available to other states, multiple officials familiar with the new plans tell CBS News.

A state's total adult population will still determine its weekly vaccine allocation, but if a state doesn't need as much as it's allotted, the doses will be diverted into a new federal pool that could be tapped by other states with higher demand. States could order up to 50% more than their weekly allotment, the officials said.   But officials familiar with the plan stressed it is not a "use or or lose it" system.
