"Politically, these two states haven’t had much in common for decades. And in this polarized era, those differences are increasingly reflected in the laws and guidelines local leaders are enacting, resulting in wildly different policy realities for Americans depending solely on whether they live in a blue state or a red state."

The NHS argument, and the BMA line here, is in general and brief, that the State buying the doses, and funding it through general taxation, is the cheapest way for each; and that the benefit of immunisations is for the whole population and therefore should be funded by the whole population.

All other ways cost more and deliver less total benefit.

Private COVID jabs lead to concerns about creeping #privatisation #NHS

PSA: Many already know, I'm sure, but for people in the US who would like a COVID vaccination, Walgreens makes the process pretty easy for anyone with a condition that would allow them to get the vaccination. It is unnecessary to divulge your health condition, you only need to respond that you have a condition that qualifies.
