On the 13th (local time), the U.S. has completed all the screening procedures required by the authorities for the vaccine vaccination of Pfizer, a pharmaceutical company.
CNN broadcast reported that Robert Redfield, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), accepted the vaccine use recommendation that the CDC advisory body, the Vaccination Advisory Committee (ACIP), decided the day before.
In order to approve the emergency use of the COVID-19 vaccine in the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and CDC must go through relevant screening procedures.
The FDA accepted it the next day, the next day, when the Vaccine and Biological Drugs Advisory Committee (VRBPAC), an advisory body, recommended approval for emergency use of a vaccine developed by Pfizer and Bioentech on the 10th.
The CDC's ACIP then decided to recommend the vaccination of Americans over the age of 16 in favor of 11 to 0 on the 12th, and Director Redfield accepted this day.
The United States began transporting the vaccine produced at Pfizer's Michigan factory today to distribute the vaccine nationwide.
These first vaccines, which can be administered to 2.9 million people, will be distributed throughout the United States by the 16th, and there are observations that the first vaccination will occur as early as the 14th.
"It means we can get the vaccine now in the US," CNN said. "The first shot is expected on the morning of the 14th."
