Nurse practitioner Tarik Khan wanted to put “leftover” COVID-19 vaccine doses to good use. Once a vaccine vial is opened, it expires in a number of hours, and unused doses must be thrown away. With the help of community advocates and city councilmembers, Khan cultivated a makeshift waiting list of homebound individuals who were unable to access mass vaccination events. For weeks, he took leftover doses from the clinic he works at during the daytime and made house calls at night, dashing across the city to administer them before they expired.
