Not trying to be political with this but I think that they need to treat this like voting. Start using stadiums and event centers. Load them up with vaccines and give them out with cards.
Targeting people hasn’t worked as well. Maybe an all out splurge to the general public would be better?

It's in process:
Mass vaccination centers being opened
And while expanding the list of who can get vaccinated, states are coming up with more options for where residents can get their shots.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is working on a plan to use the Yankee Stadium as a vaccination site, the mayor announced Wednesday.
"That plan is in motion,' he said, adding the city will release more details when the plan has been worked through.
De Blasio's announcement came about a day after he and New York Mets owner Steve Cohen said a 24-hour vaccine mega site will be set up at Citi Field in Queens later this month.
In Hawaii, officials said Wednesday they are opening two new Covid-19 mass vaccination sites, which they hope can in a few weeks be able to vaccinate between 3,000 and 4,000 people daily.
And in California, the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim is now Orange County's first "super" Covid-19 vaccination site. Hundreds of cars had lined up for its opening on Wednesday, CNN affiliate KCAL/KCBS reported.
The site will be able to vaccinate upwards of 7,000 people each day, Andrew Do, acting chairman of the county's Board of Supervisors said in a news conference Wednesday.
