What amazes me is how would someone be able to pass exams and all the practical achievements etc.
That no red flags come up in training and residency.
Covid and the new mRNA technology allowed the crazies a wedge to run the line "this is not like you normal vaccines"
- because of the newness of the technology the rabbit hole was wide open and it gobbled up some people who quite happily accepted "traditional" vaccinations as being fine....
So when non mRNA vaccines were made available, It's not like the vaccine hesitant were lining up. (I still feel that offering these was the right policy move even if the wastage was massive).
I suspect some of the following happened:
Sadly based on childhood vaccination rates I think the second option was less common...
I couldn't find a later graph, but the "All" figure now stars at 76.3%, so the downwards trend has continued.

Rather than throwing them out why weren't these vaccines offered to younger people, or health workers, when their use by date was approaching?
My daughter works in a hospital treating covid patients but couldn't get a vaccine because she was under 30. She eventually caught covid when it went through the staff.
Our Last AstraZeneca expired September 2022. Novavax even later.
At that point we had basically finished our rollout, and had abundant doses of the more effective Pfizer vaccine on hand.
I think we got AstraZeneca and Novavax fairly late in the global vaccination process. Suspect we got more than a million Novavax doses due to an order we placed early in the pandemic (As a hedge that other orders we had placed wouldn't pan out).
Assume by the time we worked out we had excessive doses on hand (say 6 months before expiry), the world was fairy awash with vaccine availability.
While I hate to see waste, the only real option at that point would have been to donate them to a poor country. I think there are some ethical issues with that. Hey poor country... We are keeping all our Pfizer for ourselves, but you can have our less effective and also short dated vaccine doses....

This page shows that for the influenza vaccine in 2024, only 5% of children 6 months - 12 years received it. Of course, you have to pay for it. But it gives an indication of how few people are willing to pay for vaccine. I have gladly paid for all three of my children to get the flu vax every year they've been alive.
