Usually the lawyers have the final say. To administer vaccinations there are matters of credentialing, memorandums of understandings, waivers, insurance, training verification, etc.
If look at post #13 you can see me getting my first shot by one of the medics at my Air National Guard base. Prior to getting the shot I not only had to be put on orders and identified as a Tier 1 individual, but there was a whole bureaucracy in transporting the vaccine 3 hours from Los Alamitos to my base. One example was the driver had to stop every 45 minutes and verify the temperature in the cooler transporting the vaccine was at the right temperature, record it in a log then continue on. You should hear what had to happen to get the vaccine INTO the cooler in the first place.
The Red Tape exists and is slowing the process down. For good or for bad? That may be a discussion best left for PARF.
