Currently, the inoculation rate of the new corona vaccine in the United States has not reached the goal of the Trump administration’s “swift operation.” The goal of health officials is to vaccinate 20 million Americans by the end of 2020. However, according to the CDC of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as of January 2, 2021, they had only vaccinated about 4.2 million people.
Trump accused states of slow progress on vaccination because the number of vaccines injected lags far behind the number of vaccines already shipped and delivered.
Sloy, the head of Operation Warp Speed, said on Jan.3 that to speed up the vaccination schedule, health officials are exploring ways to inject half the dose of the vaccine into large numbers of Americans.
The two new coronavirus vaccines currently approved in the United States require two injections, so when the United States assigns vaccines it will reserve a second dose for vaccinators. The UK has taken another approach, directly distributing all existing vaccines, and hopes that future vaccine production capacity can catch up with the vaccination schedule.
Fauci, America’s leading infectious disease expert, said: “Expanding the scope of vaccination so that more people can get vaccinated first is a strategy for when there are not enough vaccines and there are many people waiting in line to get vaccinated.” “That’s not us. The problem now. We have a vaccine. We need to give it to more people.”
