The governor of New York said at a press conference that the estimated cost of distributing a vaccine in each state is about 8 billion U.S. dollars, and Washington has not approved state and local funds. So far, the government has only provided $200 million. Cuomo also emphasized that the difficulty of distributing vaccines is much greater than expected.
The coronavirus test is already a very simple test, but with everyone's best efforts, a total of 180 million coronavirus tests have been conducted nationwide in 9 months. For vaccination, nearly 330 million vaccines are required, and each person may have to get two shots. This difficulty is much more difficult than the coronavirus test.
Cuomo said that he plans to meet with President-elect Biden's team of coronavirus advisors later on Wednesday to discuss how the states need to distribute vaccines. Biden’s plan calls for an allocation of $25 billion for the development and distribution of vaccines to ensure that they can be “delivered” to every American for free. source
