The real problem in the US isn't the overall speed, which is probably fine if not as good as it could be, but the local problems. Only 35% have a first dose in Louisiana.

Vaccine Machine Still Too Slow
The basic story is that the UK had a bit of a head start, had a pretty good vaccination program, ran into supply problems for 4-6 weeks, then got back on track. The US started a bit later, picked up the pace fairly quickly, especially after the last guy left, has more supply than it knows what to do with, and...
The US still leads in % fully dosed, but probably won't anymore in about 10 days. The point is not that it is a race between these two countries, just comparing the records of two countries that, despite mixed records on everything else, did implement top vaccination programs.
