The United States began a mass vaccination program on Monday (12/14/2020) in hopes of immediately reducing cases of Corona COVID-19 virus infection in the country. A New York nurse will be the first in the United States to receive an injection of Pfizer-BioNTech.
Quoted from page Fox News, a New York City doctor who became one of the first people in the U.S. to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine said he felt great.
“It feels very good. This is a day full of hope. I am very honored and delighted to have the opportunity to be an example of the importance of this vaccine and how important it is for us to move forward out of this tragic situation that we face, “said Dr. Yves Duroseau. .
Millions of doses of vaccines began shipping in the US over the weekend after the Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization for the Pfizer vaccine candidate on Friday night. An emergency use permit for a second vaccine candidate, from Massachusetts-based Moderna, is expected later this month.
“Everyone is very happy. This is an exciting time that we all need. As you know, we are still facing a second peak, so to speak, in New York with COVID. So we need this. We need front line workers to see that. there is something at the end of this fight and the challenges we face today, “added Dr. Duroseau.
To carry out the vaccination, delivery trucks with special refrigeration equipment will be deployed throughout the United States.
FedEx and UPS couriers have also deployed fleets of trucks and planes to transport their valuable cargo across all 50 states, with healthcare workers and nursing home residents being first in line to get the vaccine.
It comes as part of a public-private plan to ship millions of doses of the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine recently approved for administration to Americans.
“First vaccine administered. Congratulations United States! Happy WORLD!” The President of the United States, Donald Trump, said through his Twitter account quoted on the AFP page.
