The search for the Covid-19 vaccine was a complete success! However, the US rollout of such vaccines has proven a failure. Such poor rollout suggests the need to re-examine its approach, and redefine some of its methods. In June of 1944 the Allied army successfully landed in Normandy: "Over 1,200 aircraft and more than 5,000 vessels carrying 160,000 troops, medical supplies, water, food, ammunition, etc. were moved in a few days". Operations Research, the technique that made possible its essential Logistics, was born. The operation's political and military leaders had the brilliance of establishing the key goals of the operation while letting the OR people take care of the technical details of its implementation. This article provides examples of other techniques that can be successfully applied to improve the Logistics of Vaccine Rollout and its performance.
