May be. But:

1. It shows numbers for distributed, not received. 2. It takes some time to schedule appointments, since vaccine supplies are still limited, so there is a lag between receiving vaccine and administering doses. 3. it takes time to deliver vaccines to more distributed areas. State I live in has ~3 times less people than Israel but is ~6 times bigger.

Also, because it is not clear how much is coming in, states probably have to do a reserve for the second dose so new categories of people cannot be included because there is not enough doses are available yet even for the second dose reserve.

So the big difference should be clear. While you are focused on excuses for why it can’t be done, they are focused on doing it, vaccinating 24/7. No excuses.

All these problems are fixable. But only if you want to fix them. You can know everything in advance, so why would you need to delay to make appointments? Why delay to deliver things? If you need to delay for these things you started too late. Remember that this crisis started a year ago and it has been clear the vaccines were coming for a very long time now.

The only thing Israël did that not everyone can imitate is get a large supply of vaccines. But that wouldn’t help most countries since they have tied themselves up in bureaucracy. While their constituents are dying.

How long does it take to drive across your state? Hours?

That doesn't sound like a valid excuse.
