Yikes - 
Hard to believe this type of thing could happen twice in just a couple of weeks.

Does lead to a curious ethical question.   If given access to the vaccine prior to your anticipated vaccination window, would you take that invitation for a vaccination?  Would you decline the invitation?  And/or would you try to inform the administrators that they may have made an error?

As with modern CPU instruction pipelines, sometimes you take a small/local hit to efficiency in order to speed up the overall execution.  If there is a system in place, then it might be better to let the system crank away than to try to force a local re-ordering.

"As of Dec. 23, up to 7,725 Stanford Medicine workers were given the COVID-19 vaccine."

Yet, they have (or, rather, were expecting by that date which was when the 2nd round was expected to be delivered) 23K doses, so 15K doses are sitting in freezers.  Get the stuff into arms!  Order among the 23K doesn't matter as much as speed.  If the county has allocated doses to Stanford for the cashiers in the hospital cafeteria, get it into them if you have the doses.  (It is the allocation of deliveries that I think is ill-advised.)

Otherwise, the doses should have been given to other entities that were ready to distribute.   The state prioritized large institutions like Stanford.  Maybe that was a mistake.  If doses were distributed in small batches to more place, maybe more would have been used.
