This thread prompted a trip down memory lane to my college days when the students at Penn were lined up in Houston Hall for shots from jet injectors. This was part of a national vaccination program that was cancelled after getting to 25% of the population. The swine flue that prompted the program had not proven to be as deadly as feared and the vaccinations had some casualties. The Wikipedia article on the episode explains what happened better than I can. The current situation is much different because the SARS-COV-2 is far deadlier. However, it is important to remember that rushing a vaccination program carries risks.
