Getting everyone vaccinated in the U.S. has become much harder now that demand is flagging. The strategy needs a complete rethink & it starts w/ understanding the specific reasons WHY people are hesitant -- aka what are the BARRIERS & BELIEFS stopping them from getting a jab? 2/9
Re BARRIERS, we identified the main barriers to vaccine uptake in each state. ⬇️ This provides a blueprint for state leaders to design precise, localized interventions & achieve @POTUS' goal of 70% vaccination coverage by July 4th. 3/9 
[Thread] 1. What can a #CovidVaccine site (e.g. Dischem) charge for? This health dpt memo, that was sent to providers + published by B4SA (businessforsa.org/wp-content/upl…), says:
* #Pfizer: R354.75 (R308,48 + VAT) per dose
* #JandJ: R330.00 (R286,96 + VAT) per dose
* R70 admin fee/dose
* #Pfizer: R354.75 (R308,48 + VAT) per dose
* #JandJ: R330.00 (R286,96 + VAT) per dose
* R70 admin fee/dose
2. The #CovidVaccines arrive at sites in multi-dose vials. What do these cost?
* #Pfizer (you need 2 doses, 21 days apart): There are 6 doses in a vial, so a vial costs R1 850,88 [without VAT]
* #JandJ: There are 5 doses in a vial; so a vial costs R1 434,80 [without VAT]
* #Pfizer (you need 2 doses, 21 days apart): There are 6 doses in a vial, so a vial costs R1 850,88 [without VAT]
* #JandJ: There are 5 doses in a vial; so a vial costs R1 434,80 [without VAT]
3. Can a provider ask you to pay for the R70 #CovidVacine administration fee at the counter? NO. They have to bill your medical aid (if you're insured) or the government (if you're not insured) directly.
