Coronavirus hit the world this year.

To date, 80 million people around the world have been infected and


1.75 million have died.

About 1 in 100 people are infected.

In the


United States,

where the situation is the most severe 

, 18.89 million people, about 24% of the world's confirmed cases, and 330,000 people died, one in 1,000 Americans.

I hurried to vaccination to catch this terrifying spread, but the vaccination is not as fast as expected.

Health officials in Williamson County, Texas, USA, received 900 doses of corona vaccine on Wednesday last week.



However, during the Christmas holidays, the door was locked and the vaccine was not given.



Authorities explained that the vaccine came sooner than expected and was not available on holidays, but criticism poured out.



[Judge Bill Gravel/Texas Williamson County: We hide the vaccine, stockpile it, and keep it.

I'm not sharing it.

It is wrong to people responding to the corona in the field.]



So far, 9.5 million doses of vaccine have been distributed throughout the United States, but 1.45 million people have been vaccinated.



Only 20% of the vaccines distributed were vaccinated.



The government's goal of inoculating 20 million people by the end of the year will not be easy to achieve.



[Slawi/Vaccine'Super-fast operation' manager: It is getting inoculated more slowly than we thought.

It is unlikely that the goal will be achieved.] In



Washington, DC, pharmacies located inside these grocery stores have also started vaccinating first-line candidates.



We are going to increase the inoculation rate as much as possible by using a place that is easily accessible to people.



However, there are still many people who will not get the vaccine even though they are the first candidates for vaccination.



[Drew/Washington DC Police: I get the vaccine, but I'm really skeptical because I don't know what's in it.

I don't know how to make a vaccine so quickly.] The



economic stimulus bill, which President Trump is asking for revision and refusing to sign, includes a vaccine distribution budget of $9 billion and our money of close to 10 trillion won. It may cause a hitch.
