With the limited roll out, it wouldn't take much capacity for individual sites to schedule their available doses.

You'd think so, right. You'd think that the state of California was certainly able to successfully inject more than 25% of doses delivered in January 2021, right. You'd think that simply calling around for places that had nobody coming in could not possibly work, right.

A thing that continues to blow the minds of many: there is literally no one whose job it is to generate demand for most doses at most locations which were allocated doses. This was entirely on a pull model. If there was no pull, then they would have sat in the freezer until discarded.

This didn't just strand doses in the freezer at places like Rural Clinic For Low-Income Farm Workers Who Accidentally Got A Supersized Allocation Due To Political Considerations. It stranded doses in the freezer at e.g. the third largest pharmacy chain in most well-populated cities because people called the first largest, heard a No, and then assumed "Well if they don't have it clearly no one has it."
