![]() "Being able to fill 100% of the non-clinical jobs at the Times Square site is something really special," said Jordan Savitsky, president of ATC Healthcare's vaccine division. The theater workers' unions will push their members to the vaccine site as the industry eyes a speedy reopening. ATC Healthcare Services has hired at least 80 laid-off Broadway workers in to staff the clinic in administrative support roles, while clinical staff administer the shots. will deliver up to 1,500 vaccine doses per day over the coming months. ![]() This ATC Vaccination Services oops in Times Square is one that shouldn’t be done again.NEW YORK, Ap/PRNewswire/ - ATC Healthcare Services announced it has launched a pop-up vaccine clinic in Times Square, aimed at getting Broadway theater workers vaccinated in an attempt to revive the world-class theater industry that has been shuttered since the onset of the pandemic more than a year ago.Īt full operating capacity, the pop-up clinic located at the intersection of 47 th St. Anyone handling vaccinations should have proper systems in place to check and double check things such as expiration dates. After all, you wouldn’t buy some yogurt if the container didn’t have an expiration date and the grocery store said, “why do you want to know” when you ask them about this date. You do have a right to know the status of what you are getting. One way of preventing such mistakes is to ask the person giving you the vaccine to read the bottle’s expiration date first. You may have the greatest pick-up line such as “Do you like raisins? How do you feel about a date?” However, it won’t work should you mess up the delivery like saying, “Do you like raisins? How do you feel about gas?” Similarly, producing a good vaccine alone is not enough when the vaccine supply chain and administration don’t work as they should. As is the case with pizza and pick-up lines, delivery matters. Thus, the New York City Health Department started spreading the news, sending the 899 people emails, letters, and phone calls telling them to get another dose of the vaccine.Īll of this shows the importance of vaccination logistics. Regardless, past the expiration date is past the expiration date. It’s not clear though how far past the expiration dates the vaccine doses in Times Square were. Manufacturers may be conservative about setting expiration dates so that doses may still remain viable after the date has passed. Of course, just because vaccine doses are past their expiration date doesn’t necessarily mean that they won’t work at all. Once you go beyond that expiration date, there’s no guarantee that the LNPs and mRNA are still intact and effective. That’s why the manufacturer gives each bottle an expiration date. Over time, the LNP and enclosed mRNA will break down. Like a compliment for a narcissist, the LNP surrounds and protects the mRNA from falling apart before it is delivered to the cells of your body. That’s why BioNTech had to get down with LNP, yeah you know me, when designing the vaccine. It can’t survive outside a cell for very long. ![]() mRNA is like the ego of a narcissist, very fragile. Lipid nanoparticle is a fancy name for a tiny ball of fat. The key components in a Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine are the messenger RNA (mRNA) and the lipid nanoparticle (LNP) surrounding the mRNA. Instead, the main concern is that such expired doses may have lost their mojo.
