I told you at this time yesterday (14th) that the Corona 19 vaccine is being delivered at high speed across the United States, and the vaccination started last night in our time.
According to the policy of giving medical staff and nursing hospital inpatients the first vaccination, a nurse working in New York became the first vaccination.
In New York, correspondent Kim Jong-won reports.

Vaccinations began throughout the United States this morning in local time after delivery of vaccines such as high-speed, military operations continued overnight.
The first vaccination was a nurse working at a hospital in Queens, New York, and the scene of the first vaccination was broadcast live across the country.
[Sandra Lindsay/Nurse: I am full of hope now.
I feel hope today.
I also feel a sense of relief.
It is a feeling of healing.
I hope that this will be the starting point to put an end to a very painful time.]
The Pfizer vaccine delivered this time is only 290,000 doses, so medical staff and the vulnerable who are hospitalized in nursing hospitals receive the vaccine first according to priority.
Pfizer is continuing to increase its supply, and Modena's vaccine is also expected to be approved this week, so the public will be able to vaccinate it by February next year.
[Alex Aiza/US Secretary of Health: We expect the Modena vaccine to be approved by this weekend, and we will start shipping right away.
Then, by the end of January, 50 million doses will be secured, and by the end of February, 100 million people will be able to get the actual arm vaccination.]
President Trump even posted a post on his Twitter saying congratulations to the United States and the world that the first vaccination has begun.
U.S. health officials are predicting that if the vaccination is done as planned, the corona outbreak will calm down to some extent next summer.
