US wasted over 82 million COVID vaccine doses
美國丟棄超八千萬劑新冠疫苗

The United States discarded 82.1 million COVID-19 vaccine doses from December 2020 through mid-May this year, just over 11 percent of the doses the federal government distributed, according to NBC News. 
美國全國廣播公司援引疾病控制和預(yù)防中心的數(shù)據(jù)報道，2020年12月至今年5月中旬，美國丟棄了8210萬劑新冠疫苗，占聯(lián)邦政府分發(fā)疫苗總數(shù)的11%。

Two retail pharmacy chains, CVS and Walmart, were responsible for over a quarter of the doses thrown away in that time period, in part due to the sheer volume of vaccines they handled, said the report, citing data offered by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Two states discarded more than a quarter of their doses - Oklahoma, which tossed 28 percent of the nearly 4 million doses it received, and Alaska, which threw away almost 27 percent of its 1 million doses, according to the CDC data.
