Preparations for vaccine delivery are in full swing at Pfizer's warehouse in Michigan.
As it needs to be stored at -70 degrees Celsius, put the vaccine in a box and fill with dry ice.
The vaccine boxes packed in this way are stacked in containers, and the first truck finally leaves the warehouse.
Employees applaud.
Afterwards, the vaccine box was transferred to a courier company aircraft and departed to 600 designated locations across the country.
[Citizen: (Why did you come to the airport?) Because, I'm so excited.
Today is a historic day.
This is where the first vaccine goes nationwide.
I think I will cry now.
Tears are coming.]
The operation name of the first vaccine delivery jointly conducted by the private and public forces was Operation Warp Speed, which means'super-fast', and the actual US Army commander took over as a military operation.
[Gustav Furna/U.S. Army Captain: You may have heard me say today as Diday.
D-Day (Operation Normandy Landing) was a turning point during World War II.
It was the beginning of the end.
D-Day is the beginning of the end.
It is today.]
Pfizer, which initially released 2.9 million vaccines today, plans to distribute a total of 20 million vaccines nationwide by the end of this year.
The final administrative procedure for the actual vaccination of the vaccine, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the final approval of the CDC are coming out today.
U.S. health officials are predicting that the corona crisis will normalize next summer if the vaccine is distributed as planned.
