NY Times on the distribution of Pfizer vaccine:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/12/busin...virus.html
From other sources, there's a lot of consternation about how ready the locals are to receive and implement the vaccination protocol. The second dose is essential and could be the real problem since it requires not only adequate supply but compliance and management. It sounds like Warp Speed is necessary for distribution information though it's less clear whether that group will buttress local efforts at handling the necessary cooling. The main shipping could be direct from Kalamazoo through FedEx (as described by the 60 min interview) to the locals.
There's a little more on Pfizer's innovative packaging in the ABC article. Sounds like a vast majority of places will rely on dry ice so hope they've worked out the logistics to make sure there's enough everywhere.
