==Explanation==
This comic is another in a [[:Category:COVID-19|series of comics]] related to the {{w|COVID-19|2020 COVID-19 pandemic}}, specifically regarding the [[:Category:COVID-19 vaccine|COVID-19 vaccine]]. 

Similar to [[281: Online Package Tracking]], Cueball is trying to "track" the status of the {{w|Tozinameran|Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine}}, which was approved in the USA the week prior to the publishing of this comic, and began to be administered the day of publication. Cueball is impatient for the vaccine to be released to the public, wanting the pandemic to end as soon as possible. Because of that, he is treating the state vaccine website like a package tracker, even though it will probably be several months before he is vaccinated. 

Of course, the state vaccine website does not act like a package tracker, and updates will be few and far between. The comedy in this comes from Cueball expecting it to update regularly, even though the vaccine is not going to come anytime soon for most people, especially for those in Cueball's presumed priority level. Checking once a day for general 'movement' probably would ''more than'' suffice to get a head's up on when a possible invitation or opportunity to book would present itself.

The title text refers to Pfizer's vaccine plant in the city of {{w|Kalamazoo, Michigan}}, and is also a reference to [[281: Online Package Tracking]].
