More than 128,000 people received a dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine this week when the United States began a vaccination campaign against the coronavirus disease, according to a New York Times report. This comes as the US confirmed a record 403,359 new cases over a 24-hour period, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The US federal government, which remains the country hardest hit by the pandemic in the world, hopes to initially deliver enough vaccines for 2.9 million people to receive a first dose. The United States has the highest number of confirmed cases of coronavirus disease (more than 17.6 million), as well as the highest death toll (more than 315,600), of any country in the world. Federal regulators on Friday gave emergency approval to a second vaccine, developed by Moderna, which is expected to be distributed in the coming days. Both vaccines require patients to receive two doses separated by weeks.
