joining me is nbc's stephanie gosk in shepardstown, west virginia. stephanie, why has west virginia been so successful where others have failed? >> reporter: hi, there, andrea. you know, there really are two major reasons. the first is that in the early days they tailored their vaccination plan to the needs of this state, a very local plan. the second reason is that they set up an organization that they describe as agile, so that when there were problems, and there certainly were, they were able to identify them and fix them. greenwich care home got a much-anticipated visit. >> you ready? >> reporter: this small assisted living center isn't getting its first dose. this is the second. in fact, the state says by the end of the week, every long-term care facility will have had two vaccine rounds. there are states in this country that aren't even close to getting first doses. what does it feel like to have west virginia blow everybody away? >> west virginia has a long history of bucking people, and that's pretty much what occurred. >> reporter: the state

nbc's stephanie gosk has details. good morning >> reporter: hoda and savannah, good morning that's right, you know, this medal is the highest civilian honor given in this country and it's rarely turned down. but on monday, patriots coach bill belichick said he would not be accepting it in the wake of unprecedented violence on capitol hill as one of his final acts as president, donald trump had planned to award his long-time friend, patriots head coach bill belichick the presidential medal of freedom but in a carefully worded statement, the six-time super bowl winning coach writing monday the tragic events of last week occurred and the decision has been made not to move forward with the award some critics called the president's plan a stunt to distract from the violence on capitol hill, while others had urged belichick not to accept. >> this president has made a mockery of the presidential medal of freedom so anything he would bestow on anybody is meaningless and to accept it is disgraceful. >> reporter: in a statement

i want to start with stephanie gosk at the pennsylvania convention center in philly where a mass vaccination event is under way. what's going on? >> hey there, steph. this isam impressive effort. over the next two days they want to vaccinate 2,000 people. 150 of them an hour. the goal is to get them in here, vaccinated and observed and then out of here in half an hour. what makes this really interesting is the people coming to get vaccinated today. phase 1a, the frontline health care workers who work in hospitals we talk about all the time. nursing home residents and staff. but then after that, there are other health care workers that don't fall in that system. they don't necessarily work at hospitals or clinics. and that's people coming in here today. they are home health care workers. these are the people going to people's homes and administering health care. often those people are elderly and at risk themselves. and what the city of philadelphia has done is identified this group and then figure out logistically how to get them in here to a facility like this and get them vaccinated. and t

stephanie gosk spoke to him and he said he has no remorse. >> i understand it looks bad. >> do you regret it? >> no, i stand by my decision. this was an ethical dilemma for me. do i throw these doses into the trash, or do i put them into arms? i did what the mandate said. i put them into arms. >> reporter: i spoke with a home health care worker who received her first dose, she feels betrayed by the city. doesn't know when her second dose is coming, her appointment was supposed to be next week, the city council introducing a resolution to investigate the city's vaccination vetting system as they work to plan forward to fix these concerns, and their distribution program going forward. right now there are not any charges filed against him or his company, but he has hired a lawyer and he says that he's received death threats. stephanie? >> my goodness. i want to dig deeper into all of this. joining us now former cdc director dr. tom frieden, president and ceo of the group resolve to save lives. the president is calling for more vaccine supply, how long before that translates into actual, more
